Utah NRCS is taking
signups until February 19, 2010 for a new cost share
program that uses high tunnel, or hoop houses, to modify the growing
climate and allow producers to grow vegetables, berries, etc., where
they otherwise may not. The Utah pilot is available this year to
producers in the Great Salt Lake RC&D Council area (Salt Lake, Davis,
Weber, Tooele, and Morgan counties), and Utah Tribal lands. Selected
applicants receive financial help to erect manufactured high tunnels
and in turn agree to help evaluate their effectiveness in the Utah climate. |
