Third-Generation Farmer Jake Leguee on Technology, Risk, and Feeding the World

In this episode of the Bites and Bytes Podcast, host Kristin Demoranville sits down with Jake Leguee, a third-generation farmer from Saskatchewan, Canada, to explore the intersection of tradition, technology, and risk in modern agriculture. From “tractor naps” as a kid to operating GPS-guided combines, Jake reveals how precision agriculture has transformed aspects of farm life. However, with increased connectivity comes new vulnerability: cyber threats that farmers are aware of but don’t yet know how to defend against.  Jake’s message is clear: agriculture needs the cybersecurity community’s help, but farmers don’t know where to start. Whether you work in cybersecurity, food systems, or simply want to understand the human side of modern farming, this episode offers hard-won lessons on resilience, risk, and why securing our food supply has never mattered more.
