Hydroponics Paying Off for Michigan's McWethy Farms

摘要

In Three Oaks, Michigan, a family farm tapped technology and the efficiency of hydroponics to avoid becoming a statistic — but not before the property changed hands and all was nearly lost to the family. Nationwide, agricultural lands are lost at a rate of two acres every minute, mostly for the purpose of housing developments. But swimming against that tide are farmers like Todd McWethy of McWethy Farms, who returned home to Michigan after a near 10-year educational journey that led him to hydroponics growing.
