Mitchell Hora

Mitchell Hora is a 7th generation farmer from southeast Iowa. Mitchell farms with his father, and the Hora family have been practicing no-till since 1978 and cover crops since 2013. He is raising corn, soybeans, cereal rye, winter wheat, malt barley, and mustard, all for cash crops. He's used over 20 species of cover crops, going as far as interseeding 60" corn with a drone to creatively implement the practice and eliminate the excuse of "it won't work here." He has been using weekly Haney soil health tests for about five years, views drone imagery of the farm weekly, and uses data from weather/soil sensors that take readings in the fields every hour. Beyond the farm, Mitchell is the Founder/CEO of Continuum Ag, a global soil health data company helping farmers profit from improved soil health.  Click to watch bio
