Proactive Agriculture

Mike Hilton started ProActive Agriculture on a perceived need for change in the agriculture industry. In the 27 plus years since he has started ProActive Ag, he’s visited over 250 farms per summer. His education was developed by working with conventional farmers on seeds that they had purchased. Mike consistently saw a minuscule problem with seed and instead saw the opportunities beyond the seed. Many times he has seen severe compaction, sterile soil, disease and poor plant health. Very few times was it farmer error, for instance, planting depth, improper or lack of plant repair. Instead he learned to realize what needed to be done differently in the agriculture industry. In continuing his education with schooling, seminars, mentors, consulting meetings and reading hundreds of books, the best education tips by far were his summer trips to the farms.
