The Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) has launched a new video series that spotlights Maryland farmers who are making a difference for our state’s natural resources and the Chesapeake Bay. Maryland Farmers: Partners in Conservation: Stories from the Field showcases local farmers and the conservation practices they have installed to build healthy soils, safeguard local streams, manage manure, and protect the natural resources that we all depend on.
