Willoway Nurseries Production Administrator Beth Murray was featured in the August 2020 issue of Nursery Management magazine in an article about our rice hull program.
From the article...
"We also use it as a soil amendment, it's environmentally friendly and it's sustainable. We're also utilizing a co-product - so the rice is removed, and what is left is the actual hull," Murray says. "So that goes through a process, and we're taking something and utilizing a co-product, so you're getting a double use out of it."
On top of the environmental benefit, Murray says that using the PBH rice hulls has reduced costs and increased profit margins at Willoway, which sets them apart from the competition. The greatest cost reduction Willoway has seen is a decreased dependency on herbicide applications - far costlier than using a rice hull, she points out.
