Ocean Mist Farms honoured for innovation in water REUSE
“The WateReuse Association and Research Foundation works to promote water sustainability through research and education”, said Mike McCullough, the recycled water program assistant with the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency.
Dale Huss, Ocean Mist Farms’ vice president of artichoke production, accepted the award on behalf of the company. Huss is chairman of the Water Quality and Operations Committee of the Monterey County Water Recycling Projects and vice chair of the Water Quality and Project Operations Committee of the Watsonville Water Recycling Project.
In his various roles, Huss ensures that Ocean Mist Farms takes numerous precautions throughout production to reduce and conserve water.
“The proximity of our ranches to the ocean in California’s Monterey Bay makes water conservation a critical component of Ocean Mist Farms’ field management,” Huss said. “Sea water intrusion is minimized through the most efficient use of water resources, making Ocean Mist Farms one of the leaders in water conservation for farming practices in the produce industry.”
