The NRCS is working with the New Hampshire Association of Conservation Districts (NHACD) to build high tunnel sites throughout NH to showcase their value for sustainable local agriculture. So far, four tunnels have been built, allowing the local conservation districts to share the new technology with their constituents and spread the word about NRCS financial assistance for high tunnels through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).
