NRCS-PA Hosts August 4 Webinar On Using High Tunnels For Ag Production In PA

The Natural Resource Conservation Service-PA Office will host an August 4 webinar on Using High Tunnels for Agricultural Production in Pennsylvania starting at Noon.

Do you ever wish you could start your growing season a little earlier? Do you ever hope that first fall frost comes later than usual? 

Many growers are turning to high tunnels to extend the amount of time crops can be grown in the ground. 

Because the plants inside a high tunnel are protected from much of the outdoor weather conditions, some high tunnel farmers are planting earlier in the spring and harvesting longer into the fall than otherwise possible in our Pennsylvania climate. 

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service offers free technical and financial assistance to install high tunnels.

 Join NRCS at noon on August 4 for a lunch break chat with all the details!
