ANNAPOLIS, MD (August 28, 2012) \u2013Lt. Governor Anthony Brown and Agriculture Secretary Buddy Hance, will host two agriculture-related events on Thursday, August 30. \u00a0The first event includes remarks during the State Fair Agriculture and Volunteer Day luncheon, followed by a tour of the fairgrounds in Timonium. Immediately following the tour, Lt. Governor Brown will announce record cover crop program enrollment for the coming season. The announcement will be made at a nearby Baltimore County farm. (Cover crops are important to the health of the Chesapeake Bay and the productivity of Maryland\u2019s farmland. Small grains, such as wheat, rye or barley, planted as cover crops in the fall, take up unused nutrients, control soil erosion, and protect water quality in the Bay and its tributaries.)<\/div>\n
