Abstract:

""An heirloom rice variety catches on in North Carolina's Tidewater Region." Not new to the region, Carolina Gold was introduced long before the Revolutionary War but later migrated away into the Mississippi Delta region. Recent efforts to reintroduce the crop have been successful, particularly with Tidewater Grain Co., founded by Tommy Wheeler and Al Spruill in Pamlico County.
