In 2015, Dr. Charlie Rush, plant pathologist with Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Amarillo, initiated a program to evaluate the feasibility of high value vegetable production in the Texas Panhandle. Four high tunnels were purchased and built according to manufacturer’s instructions. However, it quickly became obvious high winds threatened successful high tunnel vegetable production. Follow along with this series of videos to find out what was done to fortify the structures to withstand gusts up to 80-90 mph. (Video by Kay Ledbetter, Texas A&M AgriLife Research)
