The Specialty Crops Program erected a hoop house at the Horticulture Research Center during the summer of 2004 for demonstration and use as a shade structure. Hoop house research is in demand by growers and is a high priority for the Specialty Crops Program. We will be conducting experiments and variety trials under hoop houses during the summer of 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Other Sources of Information About Hoop Houses<\/h3>\n

See Hightunnels.org<\/strong><\/a> for more information about high tunnel systems in the Central Great Plains. The website is a USDA sponsored project exhibiting research done in cooperation with growers, professors, students, and Kansas State Research and Extension, University of Missouri Extension, and University of Nebraska-Lincoln Cooperative Extension. There is information about purchasing and constructing hoop houses, educational materials and research data, and a long list of resources available on this website. Other organizations involved in hoop house research include the Noble Foundation<\/strong><\/a>, Penn State University<\/strong><\/a>, and Rutgers University<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
