On July 18, 2022, 15-year old Chance Jacobson was checking fences. While making a left turn off of the highway on his way home, Chance’s side-by-side was hit by a minivan. The ATV rolled, resulting in severe injuries. “I have a broken right femur: I have what is called internal degloving where the skin on my right leg was sheared from the muscle. On my left knee, I’m missing my miniscus and a little bone.” As a result, Chance spent nearly 40 days in the hospital and went through about a dozen surgeries. “At first, it was just about survival, but as time went on it became more about the mental part when I couldn’t go out and do things.” Chase’s dad, John Jacobson, is also featured in this TransFARMation podcast. Thanks to the North Dakota Department of Agriculture for its support of this project.
