Jay Hill

Farmer

There is so much beauty in the occupation of farming, yet so much responsibility. For Jay, what started as 10 acres and a John Deere 4020 tractor has grown into a multi-layered commercial operation of 18,000 acres with highly diversified crops in West Texas and Southern New Mexico. Jay strives to continually implement new practices and the latest technology to best utilize his resources and farm as sustainably as possible. He actively advocates for the industry he loves on social media, using this platform to give a true glimpse into the life of a farmer.
