Negretto Farm
This is a diversified arable site under minimum tillage for all crops, with residues retained, mixed organic/synthetic fertilisation, and sprinkler plus drip irrigation. Soil-health actions include manure incorporation, improved nutrient timing, stronger cover-crop use, improved rotation design and reduced disturbance. The crops are soybean (food/feed), maize (mainly feed), wheat (food/feed), processing tomato (food) and alfalfa (feed).
