“You don’t know what you don’t know — and that’s what keeps people up at night.”
In this episode of Farming on Purpose, I sit down with Jace Young, founder and CEO of Legacy Farmer, to talk about the financial side of agriculture that most producers avoid — until they can’t.
Jace grew up on a multi-million-dollar Kansas farm that ultimately went bankrupt. Years later, working in ag banking — including at the same banks his family once approached — he gained access to the financial documentation behind the collapse. What he discovered changed the direction of his life.
We talk about centralized leadership, pride, emotional decision-making, and why updating your numbers once a year isn’t enough. Jace shares what he sees inside banks today, how loan committees actually think, and why producers who understand their balance sheets have leverage most others don’t.
This episode is a must-listen for producers stepping into leadership roles, families navigating transition, and anyone who wants to build a farm business that outlasts one generation.
Key Topics:
Growing up inside a 14,000-head feedyard and watching it go bankrupt
What ag banking revealed about financial blind spots in farm businesses
Centralized vs. decentralized leadership in agriculture
Why updating financials monthly changes everything
How to build trust (and leverage) with your banker
Farm debt trends and what tightening credit could mean for 2026
Why service-based businesses create stability alongside production agriculture
Exposing financial weaknesses without destroying family relationships
Transition planning through transparency, not secrecy
