Abstract

Accessabile Regions of EQIP High Tunnels in Kentucky
Track: Agriculture
Authors: Kevin Cary, Ryan Uthoff

High tunnels (HT) extend the crop growing season, which allows farmers to increase their profitability and productivity of their farms. The spatial distribution of HTs are described using Kentucky EQIP HT county level data. For identifying accessibility, the number of HTs per county were randomly located as points within suitable locations and then service areas were generated from these random features. This process was repeated and service areas were then summarized.
