Ag banks are tightening up more than ever right now.
It’s happening quietly, but make no mistake — banks are slowly exiting the ag industry.

And that’s putting massive pressure on family farms across the country.

So the real question is this:
What can you do to protect the future of your operation during this time of uncertainty and credit tightening?

1. Get Your Finances Organized

You can’t make good decisions without clear numbers.
That means getting your books, balance sheet, and cash flow organized — not just for tax season, but for real business management.

When your finances are structured, you can finally see what’s working and what’s not inside your operation.

2. Learn to Use Those Numbers

Most farmers stop at “getting things organized.”
But the next level is learning how to use those numbers to make sound business decisions every single day.

Should you buy that piece of equipment?
Can you afford more acres next year?
Will your lender say yes or no to your renewal?

When your numbers are clear, those decisions stop being guesses — and start being strategy.

3. Get a True Financial Partner (Not Just a Banker)

This might be the most important piece.
You need someone in your corner who has zero financial incentive in your operation — someone who’s not selling you a product, not tied to your loan, and not afraid to tell you the truth.

You need a coach who’s focused 100% on helping you make the most strategic, profitable decisions possible.

That’s exactly what we do inside Legacy Farmer.
