Working at the CEFs Farm in Goldsboro, under the high tunnel research project has been a great learning experience!
The project tests the difference between 1 layer vs 2 layers of plastic covering over the high tunnel. We are growing tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and several cucurbits on trellis. In addition to learning how the plants react and adapt to the warmer, and sometimes intense temperatures, I have also learned to identify many new insects, and plant diseases and how to control, or not to. Its been rewarding to take the gained knowledge from the CCCC Sustainable Ag program and apply it to an actively working research farm.
Thank you Robin, and all the instructors that are dedicated to this teaching! And Thank you to Dr. Sanjun Gu for giving me the opportunity to work at the CEFS Farm.
