Webinar: Optimizing In-Ground High Tunnel Tomato Production

Dr. Vern Grubinger is the Vegetable and Berry Specialist at the University of Vermont Extension, where he’s worked with and learned from farmers for 35 years. In 2024, he conducted an in-depth survey of 47 farms growing in-ground high tunnel tomatoes, to better understand what growing practices are associated with higher yields. He is also working with growers on detailed enterprise budgets to assess profitability. Join Vern to hear about lessons learned, improvements that many farms can make, and implications for best practices for high tunnels of all types – large or small, new or established, organic or conventional.
