A sixth-generation farmer, Lindsey Jacobs grew up on the family farm, Church View Farm, which laid roots in the early 1900s. Initially, her ancestors raised cattle and row crops like corn, soybeans and to***co. Over the years, they settled on Herefords and have continued ever since. https://bit.ly/3SL177O

From the age of 10, alum Brandon Writt was mowing lawns for neighbors. By high school, he had built a steady client list.

Today, Writt works for Shorb Landscaping, serving as a specialty services manager and oversees autonomous mowing operations.

He believes robotic mowers will become an increasingly important part of the landscaping industry: “I want to make people aware that there is tech work in the green industry, and I think it will only grow as time goes on.” https://go.umd.edu/2f4h
