“Strawberries & Stakes: Farming, Risk, and the Gamble We Take”

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 13:08:06 +0000

In this episode of Turf’s Up Radio, we dig deep into the world of 🍓strawberry farming—and the reality that every season is a gamble.

From planting to harvest, strawberry growers invest time, money, and faith into a crop that’s highly sensitive to weather, disease, labor, and market swings. One late frost, one heavy rain, or one unexpected challenge can turn a promising season into a financial loss overnight.

We break down what it really costs to grow strawberries, the risks farmers face every day, and why the financial side of farming often feels like placing bets with everything on the line. Is it truly gambling—or is it calculated risk backed by experience, resilience, and grit?

Whether you’re in the green industry, agriculture, or just curious about where your food comes from, this episode gives you a real-world look at the highs, lows, and stakes of strawberry production.

👉 Topics include:

The true cost of growing strawberries
Weather risks (frost, rain, heat) and crop loss
Why specialty crops lack strong insurance coverage
Comparing farming risk to gambling—what’s fair?
Mindset: how farmers handle wins and losses

🎙️ Tune in and see why farming isn’t just a job—it’s a high-stakes commitment.

The Code of a Godly Man: Faith, Discipline & Provision in the Green Industry

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 14:08:34 +0000

What does it really mean to be a Godly man in today’s world—and how does that apply to the green industry?

In this powerful episode of Turf’s Up Radio, we break down key principles inspired by a message from Josh Howerton and connect them directly to life as a contractor, business owner, and leader.

This isn’t just about faith—it’s about how you show up every day for your family, your crew, and your business.

We dive into:

The true meaning of leadership at home vs. leadership at work
Why discipline and self-control (asceticism) separate owners from operators
What provision really means—and why it’s more than just making money
How to build a legacy-driven business, not just a paycheck
The responsibility of leading with integrity, consistency, and purpose

Whether you’re running a crew, building a company, or raising a family, this episode challenges you to level up—not just professionally, but personally and spiritually.

🔥 You’re not just cutting grass—you’re cultivating legacy.
