Bill McDonnell Of Syngenta On The Future Of Modern American Farming

An Interview With Sean Freedman

Successful farmers realize they don’t need to be experts in everything. They tend to surround themselves with knowledgeable people they can trust so they don’t have to be experts. It takes a lot of weight off not having to be an expert in everything.

Modern farming is actually very different from common conceptions. Farming today is dramatically different from the farming done a few decades ago. In this interview series called The Future Of Modern American Farming, we are exploring the modern technological changes that American farms have been making. We are also exploring how farmers are adjusting to the supply chain challenges, the challenges of climate change, and the challenges of sustainable farming.

As a part of this series, we had the pleasure of interviewing Bill McDonnell, Digital Solutions Lead for Syngenta, who oversees the company’s Farm of the Future.

Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series! Before we dig in, our readers would like to get to know you a bit more. Can you tell us a bit about your “backstory”…
