Is there a magic moment when a farmer finally feels like they’ve got it all figured out? In this episode of The Granary, Damian Mason, Matt Miles, Chad Henderson from XtremeAg, and Tommy Roach from Nachurs tackle the age-old question: When does confidence replace that “Oh crap, what have I gotten myself into?” feeling?
The guys take a hilarious stroll down memory lane, recalling their early days of overconfidence, followed by the harsh reality checks (aka learning the hard way). They swap stories of field trial surprises, product claims that seemed too good to be true (because they were), and the constant battle with Mother Nature—who loves nothing more than keeping farmers on their toes.
One key takeaway? Farming isn’t an exact science—if it were, everyone would be doing it! But through trial, error, and maybe a little dumb luck, farmers start to piece it together. And the real sign you’ve made it? When other farmers start calling you for advice… but you’re still humble enough to admit you’re learning too.
So, grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join the conversation—because farming may be unpredictable, but at least the company’s good, and the stories are even better!
