PBS Featuring Metrolina On Ag Show This Week

“America’s Heartland,” a 30-minute PBS show on agriculture in the United States, is featuring Metrolina Greenhouses in Huntersville, N.C., in this week’s episode. Reporter Hena Cuevas visited with Abe Van Wingerden, president of Metrolina, who explained the importance of automation in the greenhouse in a six-minute segment.

The show is airing at various times around the country this week, Van Wingerden says, but you can view video of the Metrolina segment here. More information about this particular segment and the episode as a whole can be found at http://www.americasheartland.org/episodes/episode_404/index.htm.

The publicity for Metrolina is fantastic, and the video shows viewers how technologically sound our industry has become. As Cuevas notes in it, “Chances are if you’ve ever planted a garden, you’ve purchased one of [Metrolina’s] products.”
