High Tunnels Come to Alaska

Beginning this year, Alaska was one of the states chosen for a three year pilot high tunnel cost share program. The high tunnels are being funded through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP),, NRCS is offering other conservation practices to greenhouse producers.
Basically, to be eligible for a high tunnel you must qualify as an agricultural producer by producer for sale, trade or personal use $1000 agricultural products or timber products. The land must also be eligible for the program in that is must have been cropped previously and be in a tillable condition. Contact the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) nearest you.
