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.
We’ll start by getting to know a bit more about Cale’s background—growing up on his family’s century-old farm, how he ventured out on his own by renting land from a neighbor in 1998, and the incorporation of LEAAD Farms in 2012, named as an acronym for his children. Alongside his wife Magan, who he married in 1999, and their five kids, Cale grows corn, seed corn, soybeans, raises hogs and cattle, and relies on his trusty John Deere equipment.
On social media, Cale has cultivated an impressive presence, especially on YouTube, where over 33.2k subscribers tune in weekly to follow his farming journey, bringing in more than half a million views. We’ll dig into what inspired him to start sharing online, how his life has changed because of social media, and which platforms have been his favorite to connect with his audience.
But it’s not all about work—Cale and his wife recently celebrated their 25th anniversary with a two-week trip to Europe, visiting Austria, Switzerland, and Italy. We’ll get a few fun insights into that trip, what inspired it, and maybe a few highlights from their adventure.

Kevan “Flea” Hueftle
We are proud to present U.S. Paralympic Athlete, Rancher, and Father Kevan Hueftle. In 2005 Kevan also known as “Flea” was involved in a hunting accident that led to an amputation of his left leg below the knee. Consequently, Flea struggled with alcoholism due to the tragic loss of his limb and the constant pain he suffered as an amputee. Through perseverance and grit, Flea decided to defy the odds and would eventually compete on the US Track and Field teams and medal as an elite Paralympic Athlete. Kevan is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with limb loss or addiction.
Kevan is a husband, father, rancher, and motivational speaker. He has been a member of the U.S. Paralympic track and field team.
Works at Lazy Creek Beef Company LLC
starting when he was 20 years old. He had been hunting and while pulling the gun out of the truck, it went off, shooting him in the foot. After several surgeries his leg was amputated below the knee.
“To say my life has been easy … there have been parts that have been harder than others,” he said. “I’m still living a dream of mine.”
At the time of the accident, he was on the track and field team at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
Hueftle talked about fitting a prosthetic. He said the first seven years were miserable and the prosthetic didn’t fit. He also talked about the depression that followed the amputation.“I knew it was going to be tough, but it was really, really hard. I was an alcoholic for seven years. I was a person that I would never look up to.”
