Does a growth symbol cancel a decay when deciding whether to keep prepping my field?
The designer has ruled on this more than once, and the rulebook's Spoiling section says growth cancels one decay each.

Yes. Growth cancels decay at all times, including in the Prep Phase. You keep prepping until your net decay (decay minus growth, counting your on-deck card) reaches three, so with one growth a third decay symbol does not stop the prep. Growth also means one more decay is needed before you spoil.
