Mitchell Hochhausen
Mitchell farms with his father and siblings near his hometown of Strome Alberta, a small community south east of Camrose. Together they grow canola, wheat, barley and peas. His family also operates an Anhydrous Ammonia delivery business for neighbouring farmers in the spring.
Mitch is a journeyman Heavy Duty Mechanic, which is very beneficial for the operation. He has been renting land and farming since he was in high school. He purchased his first half section three years ago and has been working with his family full time since.
As a beginning farmer, Mitchell has the advantage of receiving guidance for marketing and financials from his father. Mitch, along with his younger brother, are very passionate about improving and expanding the family farm in the future.
