A fast-tracked USDA NRCS program providing financial assistance to farmers for high tunnel construction — critical for season extension in the Hudson Valley and Catskills climate. Applications that meet minimum ranking scores are approved immediately without waiting for the full ranking cycle. High tunnels extend the growing season by 6-8 weeks on either end, making year-round vegetable production viable on small farms. Contact your local NRCS service center to apply. Historically underserved producers receive advance payments and higher cost-share rates.
