    High tunnel raspberry production.
    (2010-06) Pogliano, Christopher John
    According to the 2007 USDA-NASS- Agricultural Census (USDA and NASS, 2009) intensive commercial production of raspberries is primarily on the Pacific coast of North America in Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and California. However, there is a demand for locally produced raspberries in Minnesota. Most fresh raspberries come to Minnesota primarily from the West Coast. Locally grown berries could reduce shipping distance but the short growing season in Minnesota limits the feasibility. Lengthening the growing season using high tunnels may be possible. The reason for this project is to ascertain practicality and methodology for the production of organically grown raspberries in Minnesota, using high tunnels.
