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.
