Those yellow planes will be flying over our farms in Greenwich Township and surrounding communities starting today through Monday 9/15/26. No cause for alarm, they are conducting aerial seeding.
🌱✈️ We wanted to let our local neighbors and community know that starting September 10th, you may notice low-flying airplanes over local farms in northern and central NJ.
They’re not spraying—these planes are planting cover crops across 3,000 acres of farmland. Cover crops aren’t harvested; instead, they grow through fall and winter to:
✅ Cover and protect soil from erosion
✅ Improve soil health
✅ Keep weeds down
Aerial seeding will occur in the following Townships:
WARREN COUNTY:
Blairstown, Franklin, Greenwich, Harmony, Hope, Liberty, Mansfield, Pohatcong, Washington
HUNTERDON COUNTY:
East Amwell, Franklin, Holland, Raritan, West Amwell
MERCER COUNTY:
Hopewell
