Extend Your Growing Season
High Tunnels keep plants warm, prevent freezing and crop losses
Hoop houses and high tunnels help you extend the growing season by keeping plants warm while they get sunlight. These innovative, low-tech structures are helping farmers as far north as Minnesota grow more and better crops because they allow for earlier planting and later harvesting. The construction of hoop houses is very easy, they are light and not difficult to move, and the federal government is even investing in them to help US farmers stay competitive.
