SC Farmer Sold on Benefits of Cover Crops EQIP Provides Landowner with Incentive to Permanently Adopt Residue Management Chip Clanton farms 700 acres in Lee County, along with his good friend David Holland, whom he’s known since high school. “David was always a straight-A student, so I knew he would make a great business partner,” remarked Clanton, who farms full-time.
