The Mitchell Farm’s innovative combination of no-till, controlled-traffic farming, farmwide wireless LAN, centimeter-level automation of seed, fertilizer, and chemical application, root-zone banding of fertilizer, and strip-intercropping, represent a particular dedication to soil conservation and to a farming culture that favors farmers’ management skill and traditional family and community cooperation.

As such, The Mitchell Farm stands at a crossroads equally relevant to the ancient farms of Europe and Asia and the innovation and entrepreneurial spirit in Australia and South America. Farmers, scientists, journalists, and engineers come to our family farm, made remarkable by the ideas and aspirations they bring with them; forging a place where technology and will, opportunity and ability, converge…and anything is possible.
