The Fair Hill Farms Tour will provide a unique look into the farm’s organic crop strategy, advanced “cow management” technology, and nutrient management plan. Their commitment to sustainable farming makes Fair Hill Farms Inc. a leader in agricultural innovation on the Eastern Shore. A registered Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) with a significant degree of regulatory oversight, the farm tracks their 1200+ cattle herd with sophisticated computer software systems to monitor milk yield, health, group movement, and a host of other variables. The group will learn about their state-of-the-art waste management system, and learn how John Deere Green Star technology allows the farm to use automatic steering and data collection for maximum crop production while also helping ShoreRivers meet water quality goals. A perfect example of where science meets production and conservation, this is a tour you don’t want to miss!
