The Farm Data Passport: How Farmers Could Finally Own Their Own Data

Every producer knows the drill: the same acreage, yields, and practices typed into a different form for every lender, program, and buyer — year after year. Jayce Hafner, CEO of FarmRaise, joins us to talk about why that redundancy is costing the ag economy real money, and what she's building to fix it. We dig into FarmRaise's "Farm Data Passport," a system designed to let farmers enter their data once, own it outright, and choose exactly who gets access to it, whether that's an FSA office, a lender, a CPG supply chain, or a certifier. Jayce explains why she thinks of it as a passport (not just a database), how FarmRaise is threading the needle between "system of record" and "just another silo," and where AI fits into a future where more producers are building their own farm management tools from scratch. We also talk about the real-dollar cost of manual data collection across supply chains, how the new 45Z clean fuel credit is already putting FarmRaise's infrastructure to work, and what Jayce thinks compliance and reporting could look like five years from now — for the 60-year-old producer still working off paper as much as the 30-year-old who just inherited the operation. Plus: county fair traditions, red ribbons and redemption

Episode 3: Banking on Better Data: How FarmRaise Tracks Strengthens Ag Lending Relationships

We’re back after a busy season, and this episode is packed. Morgan and Isabelle catch up on how harvest wrapped up, what the weather has been throwing at farmers lately, and the holiday treats they’re already planning to bake. We discuss why now is a critical moment for agricultural lenders. We break down how FarmRaise Tracks is helping banks save time on loan processing, strengthen relationships with farm customers, and improve customer satisfaction scores that matter when year-end evaluations and bonuses roll around. We also share how bulk FarmRaise Tracks memberships create better retention, cleaner financial data, and smoother lending conversations across the board. You’ll hear about our partnership with BTC Bank, new features targeted for loan officers, and our new ag lender training course designed to get lending teams up and running fast. If you’re an agricultural lender looking to support your customers, streamline your workflow, and head into the new year with better numbers and fewer headaches, this episode is for you. If you're a farmer or rancher who wants your bank or credit union to cover your FarmRaise Tracks member, reach out with your lender's information, and we are more than happy to start the conversation!
