    If your goal is to turn a profit this year, this is an episode you need to hear.

  • 358: The Simple, Affordable Way to Start Running Liquid
    Mar 17 2026

    Most farmers think adding liquid fertilizer to their planter takes a huge investment. That’s not always true.


    In this episode, we sit down with equipment expert Jeff and break it down in a way that actually makes sense. Real setups, real numbers, and what you actually need to get started without wasting money. We walk through different in-furrow options, what they cost, and how to choose the right system for your operation so you’re not overbuilding or overpaying.


    Here’s what you’ll take away:


    • How to get started with an in-furrow system for around $300 per row
    • The pros and cons of electric vs ground-driven pumps
    • When it makes sense to step up to systems like FurrowJet or 2x2 fertilizer

    If you’ve been putting off liquid because you think it’s too expensive or complicated, this will give you a clear, practical path forward.
