High Tunnels provide a great opportunity to extend the season, protect
high value crops, improve quality, and reduce weed and pest pressure.
These twilight meetings will give you a chance to talk with growers
and see good practices in action. At each twilight the grower will
discuss their experiences with high tunnels and a visiting speaker
will share knowledge on a special topic.
