Maryland Farm & Harvest takes viewers on a journey across the state, showcasing the farms, people, and technology that make up Maryland's number one commercial industry - agriculture. The December 2 episode will kick off with introductions filmed at Star Bright Farm in White Hall (Baltimore County) before diving into three unique stories.

One of the featured segments will highlight University of Maryland Extension Agent Sarah Hirsh's Bonus Cover Crop program. This program provides farmers with free consultations and cost-sharing support to develop tailored approaches using cover crops to address specific issues on their farms.
