At Harborview Farms in Kent County, farmer Trey Hill has long been forward-thinking on environmental issues. By planting cover crops between growing seasons, he helps reduce erosion and runoff from his fields. Another added benefit of cover crops has only recently been recognized: they help pull carbon dioxide out of the air and store it in the soil after they die. Not only does this make for healthier soil, it also helps fight climate change, and Trey is working with a tech startup to help get other farmers involved in cover cropping, too.
