Grant brings a wealth of knowledge from his role with Farm Credit Services of America, where he’s not only setting financial goals for himself but helping farmers achieve their own through financial literacy, careful planning, and relentless action. We'll be tapping into his professional insights on some of the biggest challenges in ag lending today, like the high costs and complexities of acquiring farmland. With a background as an ag loan underwriter, Grant has a keen eye for navigating the intricacies of financing, and he’s here to share practical strategies for setting achievable goals, balancing short- and long-term financial priorities, and avoiding common pitfalls in the process.
But Grant’s expertise doesn’t end there—he’s also a farmer himself, raising cattle, hogs, and irrigated row crops. His kids are already active in 4-H, showing hogs, and his passion for sharing knowledge led him to start Farm 640, a platform with over 650 weekly subscribers. Through Farm 640, Grant offers free training and tools for young farmers, helping them identify and purchase properties that cash flow and support their operations. We'll dive into how he’s grown his subscriber base, the decision-making tools he offers, and the success stories from those he’s helped along the way.
