<p>In this episode of the <em>Bites and Bytes Podcast</em>, host <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/demoranvillekristin/'>Kristin Demoranville</a> sits down with <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/jake-leguee/'>Jake Leguee</a>, a third-generation farmer from Saskatchewan, Canada, to explore the intersection of tradition, technology, and risk in modern agriculture.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
