Jay Fraleigh Receives Agricultural Environmental Leadership Award for Gro-Eco Growing System

The Florida Department of Agriculture has named Jay Fraleigh as a winner of the Commissioner's 2007 Agricultural Environmental Leadership Award. This award honors agriculturalists whom have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to preserve Florida's resources by using innovative, environmentally friendly agricultural practices.  Fraleigh's development and use of the Gro-Eco™ growing system made him a candidate for this noteworthy nomination. Gro-Eco™ is a great example of true water conservation and environmentally sound practices. It is simply the most innovative growing system out there today.  Gro-Eco™ promises to make a lasting impact on our environment, as it replaces wasteful overhead irrigation systems and sets a new standard in environmental stewardship.
