Dear readers
If you are interested in learning a bit more about hoophouses and the
opportunities it affords you should attend this if possible.
High Tunnel Open House
Production of high value crops under tunnels continues to
interest many fruit and vegetable growers. The Southwest Michigan
Research and Extension Center has conducted research the past four years
on producing cherries, raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes and other
vegetables in high tunnels. On July 31, 2008 at 7:00 pm there will be
an open house tour of the tunnels at the Center. Researchers will be
conducting walking tours through the tunnels discussing this year's
research activities and be available to answer any questions growers
have on tunnel construction and production. The Southwest Michigan
Research and Extension Center is located at 1791 Hillandale Road, east
of Benton Harbor. Go to www.maes.msu.edu/swmrec/ and click on SWMREC
info for more detailed directions.
