Biggest U.S. Greenhouse
 ✖  |
A startup company called AppHarvest is working on a $97 million complex of greenhouses just outside Moorehead, Kentucky. More than 60 acres will be under cover. The goal is to produce 45 million pounds of tomatoes annually to distribute on the East Coast. The growing systems are based on techniques used in the Netherlands, where greenhouse growers now produce up to 30 times more fruit and vegetables on a single acre indoors compared to conventional production outside. The Netherlands is 1/3 the size of Kentucky but is the world’s second largest ag exporter. (www.appharvest.com)
