Bayer ForwardFarming is a global initiative demonstrating sustainable agriculture in practice on independent farms around the world. Trey Hill a 4th generation partner in Harborview Farms, the first Bayer ForwardFarm in the United States, does not use the term sustainable.
“Being responsible, I equate it to being able to explain what I do to my children,” explains Hill. “If I’m going to spray something, can I explain fully what I’ve sprayed, how I’ve sprayed it and what the repercussions are to the environment – and do it with integrity – then to me, that’s responsible.”
Tre Hill’s family farm sits on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay, near Rock Hall, Maryland.
