On the leading edge

摘要

Alberta is a challenging environment for growing commercial greenhouse produce because of its cold winter climate, but a Lacombe-area vegetable producer has imported Dutch technology as part of a 7.5-million dollar expansion that will tame Old Man Winter through more efficient use of heat, air and light. To help finance the expansion, Doef's Greenhouses Ltd. has received a 2.2-million dollar federal government loan through the Agri-Opportunities Program to complete construction of a greenhouse expansion from five to 11 acres. Construction will be completed this November.
