    E160 | Our Farm Was Pre-Approved... Then the Bank Ruined Us | Legacy Farmer Live

    "We signed the lease because they told us we were pre-approved... and then they just dropped us right on our butt."  Imagine doing everything right: running a farm for nine years, finally securing the lease, and getting the "green light" from your lender—only to have them pull the rug out from under you months later with a "straight-up no." In this episode of Legacy Farmer Live, we sit down with an alfalfa producer facing the brutal reality of high-altitude farming and a banking system that doesn't understand the dirt.  Stop hoping for a better year. Start building a better business. ********************************* 🎙️Want FREE High Level Strategy For Your Operation?

    E153 | Farmers, No One Is Coming to Save You

    Today's episode hits on a tough truth: nobody is coming to save you. In this episode, I share a recent conversation with a farm owner feeling the pressure of tough decisions and past mistakes. We dig into why ego, fear of being exposed, and avoiding tough conversations hold people back—and how those same issues can sink a family operation. I also talk about my own experiences, the lessons I learned from my granddad's mistakes, and how I hit rock bottom before finally realizing it's on me to change. At Legacy Farmer, we're not here to save anyone. We're here to lead those ready to transform their business and their life. It's not easy, but it's worth it. Let's get into it. If you're ready to make a change and need guidance on where to start, we're here to help.
