Renato Gumacal started farming more than 25 years ago in purok 6, Sta. Isabel Sta. Josefa Agusan del sur as a tenant. When he first came in the area, it is more like swamp/marsh than a farmland. To make the land ideal for farming he build canals to drain the water below the surface built by layers of dead plants/trees, he also dedicates his life developing the area almost every day for the last 25 years. Little by little this hardship reaped and made the land as what it is today. After decades, with the help of his sons and sisters he finally able to purchase the land that he develops and started raising Ducks and Red tilapia and this is where Renato’s Integrated Farm started.
To develop an ideal and modern farm that is based on new practices, methodologies and strategies in farming. A farm that always adopt technologies and apply scientific procedures in producing healthy food and products for the community.
To become an agricultural center for integrated farming in Agusan Del Sur, a bridge from traditional to a modern and sustainable practices, a way to inspire new generation of farmers.

Mala gintong palay ang matatanaw sa bukid.
Bawat butil ay nagrerepresenta sa hirap ng magsasaka.
Dugo't pawis na puhunan ay nagbunga rin
dahil sa pagpupursigi at pagtatyaga.

Discard the old habit "Pwede na Ito" but instead always find ways to get "The best to!". Choosing the best breed to culture is one characteristic of a modern farmer. We should Always remember to pick at least what we think is the best. DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS.
