Crop Mix Experiences at North Central Research and Outreach Center

David Wildung and, Terrance Nennich (2012)

Summary

For the market gardener that needs a large variety of crops to sell, high tunnel production may offer the opportunity to expand the season and grow a better quality product. Decisions about which crops to grow should be made the same way a grower would decide which crops to grow in normal field production. The use of high tunnels cannot replace previous ideas on crop mix, only enhance them. In choosing the crop mix, growers should select crops with similar temperature requirements to grow in the same high tunnel.
