🌱 Healthy farms and a healthy Chesapeake Bay go hand in hand.

Every day, Maryland farmers are putting conservation into action — planting cover crops, improving soil health, managing nutrients responsibly and protecting the natural resources we all share.

As stewards of the land, farmers know that caring for our fields today means protecting our waterways for future generations. Through innovation, dedication, and a commitment to sustainability, Maryland agriculture continues to be part of the solution for a cleaner, healthier Bay.
