PORTLAND, Ore. - USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is empowering urban farmers like Stacey Givens to feed their communities, one high tunnel at a time. Through its High Tunnel Initiative, NRCS provides technical and financial assistance to build high tunnels for producers of all types--from traditional to organic, from rural to urban, from large-scale operations to backyard plots. The result is an extended growing season, increased yield, and better crop productivity--all with a focus on conservation. Learn more at www.or.nrcs.usda.gov
