Heath Cutrell – The Admiral
Fourth Generation Farmer

 

Heath Cutrell didn’t become a farmer overnight. A fourth generation farmer based in Chesapeake, VA, Heath started working with his father and uncle on the family farm when he was 2 years old. Since then, it’s all he’s ever wanted to do, no matter how long it took.

Heath farmed with his family on their 1,200 acres of land as much as he could when he was younger, but over time there wasn’t much space for him. After high school, Heath found some work helping out a local farmer, but soon saw that there wasn’t enough room for growth. He decided to take out a loan and buy a tractor trailer to haul demolition material for 7 years with the goal of saving money for the perfect opportunity to go back to his true love: farming.
