Tim Gertson: Sustainability is his mantra
Jul 02, 2018
ARLINGTON, VA – USA Rice is producing a monthly Facebook feature to bring attention to the folks who help put U.S.-grown rice on America’s plates - and to let them tell the real story of food production in their own words.
This month our “Focus on the Farmer” shines the spotlight on Timothy Gertson, whose operation based in Wharton County, Texas, is called G5 Farms in recognition of the fact that he is the fifth generation in his family to farm rice there. This year Timothy and his cousin, Daniel, are on their tenth rice crop and also are building 84,000 cwts of drying and storage space to insure a good ratoon crop.
The week-long series starts today -- look, like, and share the posts every day this week!
