The camp farm had two main objectives. the first was to make the camp self-sufficient so that the government was not constantly fudning the farm. Sceond was to provide physical and mental employment for the occupants.

The farm was large, it consisted of 4, 095 acres of the XY ranch and about 5,688 acres of the Coen ranch. With in this land, there were 6,000 acres of irrigated land. The water came from the Manvel Ditch and the Lamar Canal. They had few WPA tractors that were from the 1930's and were driven to the camp from Walsh, which was a small down about fifty miles south of Granada. The rest of the work was done by hand tools. The Amache Camp had a blacksmith show inside the cmap to do any repairs on equipment that needed done. The blacksmiths also completed electric, gas, forge fork drilling, and cutting jobs.

There were many different types of crops that were grown. The Amache farm grew corn, wheat, milo, alfalfa, and many other grains that had already been grown here before. The occupants also began to grow products never grown in the area before in large quantities. These crops consisted of head lettuce, celery, spinach, lima beans, habucha, mung beans, diakon and, Chinese cabbage. The habucha is an annual tea plant that was a native of Asia. It was only grown commercially in California. The mung beans were used for bean sprouts and were produced heavily on the farm. Daikon was a Japanese winter radish. The other familiar vegetables grown in the farm were squash, tomatoes, turnips, beets, pumpkins,onions,snapbeans, and watermelon.

The farm was extremely self sufficient. In one year the Amache Farm produced 3,838,699 pounds of vegetables and 55,000 bushels of grain. All of this valued about 190,000 dollars and the cost of production was only about 50,000. For the first year the camp was not able to sell the excess. The farm produce was either given to other camps or buried in trenches. A large canning plant was in operation at the camp where large amount of produce were preserved for the winter months.The second year the Amache Farm was able to sell the crops in markets inside and outside the camp.

The farm did not only consist of produce; livestock was also raised. The camp had about 600 head of cattle. The cattle were run on the land taken from the Coen Ranch. The camp also had 1,000 hogs that consumed the waste products of the farm and were also sold in markets. Inside the camp the Amache Farm had 25,000 chickens that were used to supply the occupants with food.

The school also had an Ag vocational program that kept 100 head of cattle and its own hog breeding project. This class had their own branch of FFA and were fully in charge of 500 land acres. Their land produced 400 tons of alfalfa, 10,000 bushels of corn, 800 tons of milo, 200,000 pounds of potatoes, 20,000 pounds of dry beans, 18,000 ears of sweet corn, and 25,000 pounds of tomatoes.
