Market Farming

["Janet.Graham" <janet.graham AT de.usda.gov>]

Hello,
I'm new to the list.  One of the farmers we work with in DE grows lima
beans.  Apparently, in the processing of the beans they use a salt water
solution to separate green from white beans.  The issue is what to do
with the waste water.  If it is used for irrigation, it has a salt
content to it.  It is cost prohibited to filter out the salt.  One
suggestion was made to irrigate it onto a crop that can uptake the
salt.  Does anyone have any experience with this, or ideas for what
crops take up salt so that it doesn't become a soil problem?  Thanks!
