The High Tunnel System Initiative by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) aims to improve plant quality, soil health, and reduce nutrient and pesticide transport. It supports producers in extending the growing season for high-value crops in an environmentally safe manner. Financial assistance is available for implementing high tunnels, which also contribute to local food markets by increasing the availability of fresh vegetables, fruits, and other crops throughout more of the year.
For detailed information, please visit the NRCS High Tunnel Initiative page.
The NRCS’s On-Farm Energy Initiative supports producers in identifying and improving energy efficiency in their operations through energy audits.
