The following is Mitchell's biography from Op-Ed News:

Brad has been working in agriculture for fifteen years. Aside from his work in the US, he worked on projects in India, Nepal and El Salvador. He has a particular interest in the relationship between agriculture and nutrition.

As of March 28 2009 Mitchell had posted three articles on Op-Ed News, a forum that usually carries much critical comment about Monsanto. All three articles try to counter negative news stories about Monsanto. Mitchell's articles are:

• "HR 875 - Monsanto's Dream Bill or an Internet Rumor". This is a response to Linn Cohen-Cole's article for Op-Ed News, "Monsanto's dream bill, HR 875", which alleges a Monsanto link to pending US legislation giving the federal government more control over farming and food production.
• "Do GM Crops Increase Yield?"
• "Monsanto and Seed Cleaners"
