Subject: hydroponic greenhouse

On Friday, 29 September, Don Harris asked about commercial operations that have 
successfully integrated water treatment with hydroponic plant production.  
Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) operates a corn and soybean processing 
plant in Decatur, IL, which uses hot waste water to heat a hydroponic 
greenhouse.  The greenhouse has been in operation since the 1970s and has 
produced at various times, salad greens, herbs, and miniature roses.  I 
believe it is still in operation, although the information I have on it is 
not current.
