High Tunnel Farewell Until Next Semester


                As the semester is coming to the end, so is the SAFS 679 class conducted at the UNH high tunnels next to the Fairchild Dairy.  Although it is time to say goodbye to the class this does not mean the high tunnels are being shut down until next semester. 
It is actually quite the opposite.  Since summer is approaching quickly so is the prime growing season for New Hampshire.  The crops in the high tunnels along with our outside field will continue to grow and flourish throughout the summer and into next fall when the SAFS 680 class will begin.   Without the students of the class on campus this brings many to the question of how these crops will be maintained and harvested.  But fear not, Ross along with the help of two internes from the SAFS 679 class will be maintaining and working in the high tunnels for the summer until UNH students join them back on campus next semester.   However, since I am graduating it is time I say goodbye to the high tunnels and UNH.  But this does not mean the blog will end but shall be continued by another student next semester.
