AMARILLO – Lessons learned in construction of protected agriculture systems, or high tunnels, kept Texas A&M AgriLife Research tunnels near Amarillo securely in place during the recent “bomb cyclone” that reached recorded wind gusts of 80- 90 mph. Dr. Charlie Rush, AgriLife Research plant pathologist in Amarillo, has spent the past four years building high tunnels and researching their use in growing vegetables at the Bushland research station. After a number of early setbacks, he and his crew developed some steps to fortify the structures to withstand the high winds that often occur in the Texas Panhandle. The methods they developed have been captured in an educational fact sheet and a series of “walk-and-talk” construction videos available at https://tinyurl. com/ Photo Submitted “It’s important that if the vegetable industry is High tunnels constructed for the Texas A&M AgriLife Research plant pathology program are fortified to withstand high winds in the Texas going to grow up here, and Panhandle.
