Jace Young, our Founder and CEO, is a Western Kansas Farm Kid and Ex-Ag Banker turned Entrepreneur focused on helping American Farmers and Ranchers build an organized, structured, and profitable operation that they can one day pass onto their children and grandchildren.
Before founding Legacy Farmer, Jace experienced the financial collapse of his family's operation in the summer of 2005. He was in high school and living with his parents when they lost everything and were forced to walk away from the family farm that they had dedicated their lives to building.
His desire to become an entrepreneur kicked in following his career as an Ag Loan Officer where he realized that very few Farmers had the financial organization, structure, and systems in place that would help their farms survive and thrive for generations to come. Today, he works to help Farmers streamline the entire financial side of their operation so that they leave behind a profitable and sustainable Farm Operation to their children and grandchildren.
