Jessy holds a degree in Agricultural Economics from North Dakota State University and brings over a decade of experience as a business ag lender.

“As a farmer myself, I understand firsthand the challenges and opportunities that producers face,” Wicht said. “A strong banking relationship goes beyond financing – it requires a lender who truly understands the business of agriculture and can provide valuable insights tailored to each operation.”
Outside of work, Wicht enjoys hunting, fishing, watching football, and spending time with his wife and two daughters.
