Land

We need land to do our work. This can come in the form of free long-term leases or land ownership.
Crop Inputs

With several hundred acres of land under management, we would appreciate the contribution of inputs such as seed, fertilizer, pesticides, etc.
Facilities

Farming Smarter needs shop and office space, labs, and places to host events.

 
Cash

Cash investments can be targeted in many ways. It could support a research project, an extension goal, conservation work or a staff position.
Equipment or Fuel

We manage several hundred acres and would appreciate free use or donation of agriculture equipment including tractors, combines, GPS, sprayers, mowers, trucks, trailers, ATVs, irrigation, and more.
Legacy

Farming Smarter would benefit from the creation of an Endowment fund. A sizable investment that could both earn and be drawn from for core operations would help secure and sustain Farming Smarter for the long term.
