Growing Under Cover - Free Opportunity for Alabama Producers
Growing Under Cover Learning Networks are being established in Alabama to help growers with high tunnels to increase their income. NRCS has provided cost-share for over 400 high tunnels in Alabama since the program began 4 years ago. Many growers are now finding that they could use some help learning how to make best use of their new high tunnel. Southern SAWG, in partnership with the USDA's Risk Management Agency, the Alabama Sustainable Agriculture Network (ASAN) and The United Christian Community Associate (TUCCA) will organize learning networks in 3 areas of the state, for a series of in-field trainings and sharing amongst participants of successes and failures.
