Making the Most of Your High Tunnels in a Changing Climate
Date: 2025-02-15
Time: 9-5
Location:
UVM campus
Description: High tunnels extend the growing season and protect crops from the elements. They are an important tool for horticultural farms coping with increasingly variable and extreme weather associated with climate change. This session will review grower practices aimed at optimizing crop growth, labor, and yields, with a focus on tunnel tomatoes. Images of a range of practices and design features that growers have adopted will be shown, from simple and low cost to more complex and expensive. There will be group discussion to share questions, suggestions and experiences with tunnel infrastructure and management. This workshop earns one RAP Agricultural Water Quality education credit.
