David Hodge, Hodge Farms
Hodge Farms has a rich history dating back to the 1800s. Growing tobacco, blueberries, and raising cattle, David Hodge knows the importance of being a dedicated steward of the land. He has implemented technology like drip irrigation since 1989. Along with drip irrigation, Mr. Hodge also places an emphasis on enhancing soil health and reducing erosion through soil testing, cover crops, and conservation tillage.
Mr. Hodge places an emphasis on best management practices on his farm because he wants to pass it on to his sons, and protecting the land is how he can ensure they will be able to farm the land for years to come.
