Why I chose a career in agriculture

I chose a career in agriculture because it’s in my blood. Both my parents and grandparents farmed. I enjoy working out in God’s country and watching things grow.

How my operation has changed

My operation has changed a lot within the past five years. In 2014 I moved from Colorado where my parents and grandparents farmed to Kansas to start my own operation. Every year since I’ve doubled in size.

Working with Frontier Farm Credit

Thanks to Frontier Farm Credit I was able to buy my first farm and grow my operation at a sustainable rate. Their knowledge and expertise in agriculture sets them apart from other lenders. They are familiar with the challenges beginning farmers face and understand where you’re coming from when you come to them with questions or concerns.

Farm Credit brings expertise to my operation

In addition to working with a very qualified loan officer, Frontier Farm Credit brings expertise to my operation through the management tools they offer me. The way these tools work together allow me to roll all my finances, loans and operating line into one.

Advice to other young and beginning farmers

The advice I would share with other young farmers just getting started is to remember it’s a marathon, not a race, and to surround yourself with knowledgeable people.
