The USDA and Global Village of Beijing team visited Cedar Meadow Farm in Lancaster, PA, which is owned and operated by Steve Groff. Steve Groff and his family farm 175 acres of vegetables and crops on hilly land in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Mr. Groff has pioneered the "Permanent Cover Cropping System", which includes no-till, cover crops, and effective crop rotations as a way to increase profits, enhance soil and water quality, and reduce pesticides.
