Free of Charge

Faurot Hall 101/102
Missouri State University - Mountain Grove Campus

Jeff and Tammy Johnston and their High Tunnel at Sun Crest Farms     The High Tunnel Open House will begin at the State Fruit Experiment Station in Mountain Grove. Missouri State Faculty and Staff will be on hand to talk about our continuing experiences with our high tunnel equipped with solar power automated side curtain venting system. We grow primocane bearing raspberries, peonies and warm season vegetables in our tunnel.

     The open house will continue as we travel to Sun Crest Farms to see Jeff and Tammy Johnston's high tunnels as well as their field plantings. They will have tomatoes in their tunnels and various other marketable crops.

If the weather is nice, we may begin in the Pavilion, but have Faurot reserved just in case. 

PresentersDr. Martin Kaps, Susanne Howard, John Avery and Marilyn Odneal of Missouri State University, Mountain Grove Campus, Norman Kilmer of Morgan County Seeds, Barnett, Mo., Tony Bratsch, University of Missouri South Central Regional Horticulture Specialist, Jeff and Tammy Johnston of Sun Crest Farms, Cabool, Missouri
