Plan
If someone were to lease, grant, or otherwise make land available to me, I would transform it into a self-sustaining, AI-powered ecological community—designed to produce food, energy, knowledge, and abundance while remaining deeply connected to the natural world.
The foundation would be 100% renewable energy, using solar power and other appropriate clean-energy systems to provide electricity for the entire operation. Artificial intelligence would automate and coordinate as many processes as practical—from irrigation, climate monitoring, soil analysis, planting schedules, energy management, and food production to security, logistics, and resource efficiency.
The land itself would become a year-round food forest and living ecosystem, combining fruit and nut trees, vegetables, herbs, medicinal plants, native species, perennial crops, water systems, pollinator habitats, and natural wildlife corridors. Rather than forcing the land into an industrial agricultural model, the goal would be to work with the natural systems already present and restore them wherever possible.
I envision a place where technology and nature operate together: AI handles repetitive systems and helps us understand the land, while human beings remain responsible for stewardship, cultivation, creativity, and community.
The ultimate objective is not simply to build a farm. It is to create a living model of self-sufficiency, ecological restoration, technological innovation, and responsible stewardship—a place where food can grow continuously, energy can be generated sustainably, resources can be conserved, and people can reconnect with the Earth.
At the heart of it is something deeper: my relationship with the Great Spirit and my responsibility to the living world.
I want to build something that demonstrates that advanced technology does not have to separate humanity from nature. Properly directed, it can give us more time to care for the land, protect life, cultivate abundance, and live in greater harmony with the Earth.
Desired Transitional Agreement
Description of Desired Transitional Agreement
What I am ultimately looking for is an opportunity to return to the land—to receive access to land where I can put this vision into practice and begin building something tangible.
As a Native American who is also commonly identified as Black, my relationship with the land is more than a business proposition. Through research, travel, family experience, and my own reflection, I have come to see returning to the land as an important part of my life’s direction. When I spent time on my family’s farm in Belize, I experienced firsthand how different life feels when you are directly connected to the soil, the food, the water, the trees, and the living environment around you.
There is an idea that has stayed with me: when we restore our relationship with the land, the land responds. The soil becomes healthier, ecosystems become more resilient, wildlife returns, and the entire environment has an opportunity to flourish. I want to contribute to that process.
If someone is willing to lease, grant, or otherwise make land available, I would be grateful for the opportunity to put my experience and vision to work. More importantly, I would welcome someone who wants to remain involved as a partner, mentor, investor, land steward, or strategic collaborator.
I am not simply looking for land. I am looking for a relationship with someone who believes this vision is worth building.
Together, we could demonstrate a new approach to farming—one that combines traditional respect for the Earth with artificial intelligence, automation, renewable energy, food-forest agriculture, and modern business practices.
My ambition is to build something that is productive enough to sustain itself, innovative enough to attract serious interest, and natural enough to demonstrate what agriculture can look like when technology works with the Earth rather than against it.

Livestock
Additional Information on Produce or Livestock Needs
An important part of my vision is for the property to have access to clean, naturally flowing water, or sufficient water resources to develop ponds, streams, wetlands, and other aquatic systems in a responsible manner.
Where the land permits, I would like to establish large natural ponds and interconnected water features that can provide habitat for fish, amphibians, birds, insects, and other wildlife. Rather than approaching aquaculture as an intensive commercial operation, the objective would be to create healthy aquatic ecosystems where fish can live in spacious, clean, naturally functioning environments.
Where appropriate and environmentally sound, these water systems could also become part of the farm’s natural nutrient cycle. Aquatic plants, fish waste, sediments, organic matter, and surrounding vegetation can contribute nutrients to the broader ecosystem when properly managed. Water could also be incorporated into irrigation, wetlands, and soil-restoration systems without compromising water quality or ecological health.
I would want the entire property designed around closed-loop ecological relationships wherever practical: water supporting vegetation, vegetation supporting wildlife, organic matter returning nutrients to the soil, and healthy soil supporting food production.
The same philosophy would apply to livestock.
Where livestock are appropriate for the land and ecosystem, I would prefer low-density, pasture-based systems that allow animals adequate space to move, graze, forage, shelter, and behave naturally. Rather than intensive confinement, I envision rotational grazing and well-managed pasture systems that protect the soil, prevent overgrazing, and allow the animals to remain integrated into the landscape.
Livestock would not simply be treated as production units. They would be part of the ecological system, with their grazing, manure, movement, and natural behaviors carefully managed to contribute to soil health and nutrient cycling.
Ultimately, I want the property to function as a living ecosystem rather than a conventional industrial farm—with forests, food crops, water, wildlife, livestock, renewable energy, and technology operating in balance.
The guiding principle is simple:
Work with nature wherever possible, use technology where it strengthens stewardship, and allow the land itself to remain alive.
Preferred Equipment and Infrastructure
Equipment and Infrastructure Details
My objective is to develop a highly automated, renewable-energy-powered regenerative farm that combines artificial intelligence, robotics, precision agriculture, and natural farming practices.
I would like the farm to be designed around the principle of using technology to reduce synthetic inputs rather than using technology simply to increase chemical-intensive production. Where practical, I want weeds, pests, irrigation, soil conditions, crop health, and other farm variables to be detected and managed through biological, mechanical, and automated methods.
The equipment I would like to explore includes:
1. Renewable Energy System
- High-efficiency solar photovoltaic panels
- Ground-mounted and/or elevated agrivoltaic solar arrays
- Solar tracking systems where economically appropriate
- Battery energy-storage system
- Smart inverters and power-management equipment
- Microgrid control system
- Backup renewable generation where appropriate
- Energy monitoring and load-management system
2. Green Hydrogen Energy Storage
I would like to investigate a solar-to-hydrogen energy system in which excess solar electricity can produce hydrogen through electrolysis and store energy for periods when solar production is insufficient.
Equipment could include:
- PEM or alkaline electrolyzer
- Hydrogen storage tanks
- Hydrogen compression equipment
- Hydrogen purification and drying equipment
- Fuel-cell generator for converting stored hydrogen back into electricity
- Hydrogen safety monitoring and ventilation systems
- Automated energy-management controller
This would operate as a long-duration energy-storage component alongside batteries rather than assuming hydrogen should replace batteries. Australian renewable-energy projects have already demonstrated the integration of hydrogen storage with solar, batteries and microgrid controls. (Australian Renewable Energy Agency)
3. AI Farm Management System
- Central AI farm-management platform
- Digital map/digital twin of the entire property
- Automated farm scheduling
- Crop and yield monitoring
- AI-assisted irrigation management
- Soil and plant-health analytics
- Weather and microclimate forecasting
- Automated equipment scheduling
- Remote monitoring through computer, tablet, and mobile devices
- Local/on-site computing so critical systems can continue operating if internet connectivity is interrupted
4. Drone & Aerial Monitoring Fleet
- Autonomous agricultural drones
- RGB cameras
- Multispectral cameras
- Thermal cameras
- High-resolution mapping cameras
- LiDAR where appropriate
- GPS/RTK positioning
- Automated drone docking and charging stations
The drones would continuously survey the property for crop stress, disease, invasive plants, irrigation problems, soil conditions, storm damage, and other abnormalities. Australian research is already demonstrating AI systems that use aerial imagery, computer vision and GPS to identify weeds at scale. (CQUniversity Australia)
5. Autonomous Ground Robots
- Solar-powered agricultural robots
- Autonomous electric utility vehicles
- Robotic cultivators
- Mechanical weed-removal robots
- Autonomous mowing/vegetation-management robots
- Robotic planting and seeding systems
- Robotic harvesting equipment as appropriate for particular crops
- Autonomous transport carts
- Robotic charging/docking stations
A particularly relevant model is the FarmDroid system, which uses solar power, GPS and autonomous mechanical weeding and can record the location of individual seeds. (Farm Tech Australia)
6. Mechanical & Non-Chemical Weed Management
My preference is to prevent and mechanically remove weeds before relying on synthetic herbicides.
Equipment could include:
- Precision mechanical weeders
- Inter-row cultivators
- In-row robotic weeders
- Robotic hoes
- Brush and rotary weed-control systems
- Thermal or other non-chemical weed-control technologies where appropriate
- Mulching equipment
- Automated cover-crop management
- Precision mowing equipment
The goal is not simply to replace a chemical sprayer with another machine. The objective is to redesign the production system so that healthy soil, ground cover, crop spacing, biological diversity, mechanical cultivation, and AI-assisted detection reduce the conditions that create major weed problems.
7. Soil & Environmental Sensor Network
- Soil-moisture sensors
- Soil-temperature sensors
- Soil electrical-conductivity sensors
- Soil-pH monitoring
- Nutrient monitoring
- Weather stations
- Rain gauges
- Wind sensors
- Humidity and temperature sensors
- Water-quality sensors
- Automated tank-level sensors
- Stream/pond monitoring
- Plant-health sensors
These sensors would feed into the AI system so that irrigation and other interventions occur according to actual conditions rather than a fixed schedule. University of Sydney’s DigiFarm work, for example, has used networks of soil-moisture probes, water sensors, rain gauges and weather stations for automated farm monitoring. (The University of Sydney)
8. Natural Fertility & Soil Regeneration
Rather than designing the farm around synthetic fertilizer, I want the system to prioritize naturally generated fertility through:
- Composting systems
- Compost tea/bio-extract systems where scientifically appropriate
- Mulching systems
- Leaf and plant-material processing
- Biochar production
- Green manure and cover crops
- Nitrogen-fixing plants
- Crop rotation
- Perennial crops
- Food-forest systems
- Managed grazing where appropriate
- Natural nutrient cycling
- Organic matter monitoring
The AI system would monitor soil conditions and help determine what the land actually needs rather than applying inputs indiscriminately.
9. Water Infrastructure
- Solar-powered well pumps where legally and environmentally appropriate
- Rainwater harvesting
- Cisterns and storage tanks
- Gravity-fed irrigation where terrain permits
- Drip irrigation
- Automated irrigation valves
- Water recycling systems
- Pond/lake storage where appropriate
- Wetland and natural filtration systems
- Water-quality monitoring
10. Food-Forest & Regenerative Agriculture Equipment
The property would not be designed solely as a conventional row-crop farm. I want a diversified year-round food forest containing appropriate fruit trees, nut trees, vegetables, herbs, perennial crops, medicinal plants, native plants, pollinator habitat, and other useful species.
Equipment would therefore include:
- Tree-planting equipment
- Nursery/greenhouse systems
- Automated greenhouse controls
- Seed-starting equipment
- Propagation systems
- Irrigation automation
- Orchard-management equipment
- Harvesting equipment
- Produce washing and processing equipment
- Cold storage
- Solar-powered refrigeration
- Food dehydration and preservation equipment
11. Farm Robotics & Communications
- Autonomous vehicle fleet

- Private farm wireless network
- LoRaWAN/IoT sensor network
- Edge-computing servers
- AI cameras
- LiDAR
- Thermal imaging
- Automated gates
- Equipment tracking
- Robotic docking/charging stations
- Satellite communications as a resilience option
12. Farm Operations Center
I envision a central control room where the entire property can be monitored digitally.
The system would provide a live picture of:
Energy → Water → Soil → Crops → Weather → Drones → Robots → Storage → Production → Distribution
The objective would be for one integrated system to identify problems, prioritize tasks, dispatch equipment, record what happened, and provide human operators with the information needed to make decisions.
The Core Philosophy
The farm should not be designed around the idea that more chemicals and more labour equal more production.
Instead, I want to investigate whether we can create a system in which:
Healthy soil + biodiversity + renewable energy + AI + robotics + precision water management + mechanical weed control + natural fertility = productive regenerative agriculture.
This is not an attempt to eliminate human stewardship. Quite the opposite. The machines would handle repetitive monitoring and physical tasks so that people can spend more time managing the land, observing the ecosystem, cultivating food, maintaining the farm, and making higher-level decisions.
My ultimate objective is to build a working demonstration of what I believe the next generation of agriculture can become: a solar-powered, AI-assisted, highly automated food forest and regenerative farm that works with natural systems rather than treating nature as an obstacle to production

Farm Education/Training
Additional Info on Experience/Education
I have been an entrepreneur from a young age, building and operating businesses across several industries. I began in the T-shirt business, later acquired a real estate company, and went on to acquire and operate a trucking company. Through these experiences, I developed practical knowledge of business operations, management, logistics, technology, and building systems that can operate efficiently.
My interest in farming became much more personal when I visited my family in Belize, where they operate a farm. Spending time there allowed me to experience agriculture firsthand and reconnect with the land in a way that I had not experienced before. It deepened my appreciation for fresh food, natural production, self-sufficiency, and the importance of being connected to where our food comes from.
Over the years, I have also maintained connections with the agricultural and food-production industries while continuing to work with technology and emerging business models. That combination has led me to a particular question: How can we bring artificial intelligence, automation, renewable energy, and modern technology into agriculture without losing the natural relationship between people and the land?
That is the direction I am pursuing now.
My goal is to combine the entrepreneurial experience I have developed throughout my life with agricultural knowledge, renewable energy, and AI-driven automation to develop a highly efficient, environmentally responsible farm. I envision using solar energy and intelligent automated systems to monitor and manage irrigation, soil conditions, crops, energy consumption, and other farm operations while allowing the land itself to remain as natural and productive as possible.
My broader life experience has also shaped how I approach this work. Growing up around the military exposed me to structure, discipline, organization, and systems thinking. My family and upbringing exposed me to community, faith, service, and different perspectives on society.
I now want to bring all of those experiences together—entrepreneurship, technology, agriculture, systems thinking, and stewardship of the Earth—to create something practical and sustainable that can serve as a model for what the farm of the future could look like.
