Megan Goldenberg is the project manager for the Michigan Climate Smart Farms Project, which works with farms in Wayne, Lenawee, Washtenaw and Monroe counties to develop a climate smart farm verification program for the state. Goldenberg, of the Michigan Climate Smart Farms Project, said she worries federal funding cuts by the Trump administration will further discourage farmers from adopting environmentally friendly solutions like cover cropping. She said Michigan is one of the top states by acreage enrolled in Farmers for Soil Health, which advances soil health practices like cover crops.
