Tunnel to Table aims to aid Kansas tunnel farming growth
The Kansas Rural Center launched Tunnel to Table with a Specialty Crop Block Grant to help growers use polytunnels or hi tunnels for year round production. Leaders Cole Cottin and Dan Phelps emphasize extended seasons raise yields and income with DIY tunnels costing under 500 dollars and sturdier options at 5000 to 6000 dollars. The project seeks to boost protection, production and profitability of Kansas specialty crops across the state.
