"High tunnels can be used... for gourmet or specialty crops, or for organic farming. You even can put small fruit trees such as figs inside the structures. "Explained simply, high tunnels are single-car garage-size structures covered with clear plastic sheeting to manipulate soil and air temperatures using the energy of the sun.... a series of growth trials [will be conducted] in 24 research high tunnels, which are 36 feet long, 17 feet wide and 9 feet high.... Commercial-size versions of high tunnels, which are 96 feet long, also protect plants from insects, diseases and wind damage, virtually eliminating field loss...

CONT

High tunnels are not conventional greenhouses. But like plastic-covered greenhouses, they are generally quonset-shaped, constructed of metal bows that are attached to metal posts which have been driven into the ground about two feet deep. They are covered with one layer of 6-mil greenhouse-grade polyethylene, and are ventilated by manually rolling up the sides each morning and rolling them down in early evening. There is no permanent heating system although it is advisable to have a standby portable propane unit to protect against unexpected below-freezing temperatures. There are no electrical connections. The only external connection is a water supply for trickle irrigation. The ends of the tunnels are framed in, and may be made portable (removable) to facilitate easy access into the tunnel with a small tractor and tiller.

CONT

Tunnel greenhouses. Tunnel with a great range of models depending on the widths, heights and distances between arches.

The baby boom generation---those born between 1945 and 1960, has influenced many trends as it has matured. In the ’60s and ’70s, they needed schools. In the ’80s, they needed housing as they started their own families. In the ’90s, as front-end boomers-now in their late 40s and early 50s-entered their prime earning years, everything from sport utility vehicles to gourmet frozen entrees experienced a boom.
