High tunnel automation exists for the grower interested in greater climate control in protected culture, safety, peace of mind and freedom to leave the farm-all while improving plant health and yield. Join us as we present detailed information about our experiences implementing high tunnel monitoring and automation at Broadfork Farm. The discussion will consider monitoring temperature, humidity, rain and wind. After the workshop you will be able to make informed decisions about automation options.
