High Tunnels, Small Farms, And Strawberries

摘要

SAYLOR'S Farm faces the same challenges most smaller growers do — finding affordable labor, grappling with the weather, and just making the economics of a small farming operation work. But owner John Saylor is an experimenter, and he's turning that natural curiosity into a solution that produces highly marketable and profitable onions, lettuce, herbs and, especially, strawberries."I've always had an interest in hydroponics and one of the main crops f was interested in was strawberries," he says. "We've been researching strawberry production in tunnels for about 10 years, and 1 started getting serious about it the last couple of years."
