Abstract:

Originally published in 1978, the article contains only new photos; the content is untouched. This reprint of Jim Dean’s day in the life account illustrates to the current staff that little has changed for the average Eastern North Carolinian duck hunter.

Abstract:

Originally, Tommy Wheeler was looking to find a crop that would attract ducks in Pamlico County, where he hunts. He and Al Spruill formed Tidewater Grain Co. in 2018, which markets an heirloom variety of rice referred to as Carolina Gold. While more expensive than growing corn as food for ducks, consumer demand for the rice variety is highly sought after and profitable.
