SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To fully 

understand the new conservation 

practice standard, individuals are 

encouraged to acquire the document 

from one of the means listed. To aid in 

this understanding, following are some 

highlights of the proposed new 

standard: High Tunnel System (Code 

325)—This is a new National 

Conservation Practice Standard with a 5 

year lifespan. Prior to this new National 

Conservation Practice Standard, there 

existed an Interim Conservation Practice 

Standard, ‘‘Seasonal High Tunnel’’ 

(Code 798), that has been utilized 

extensively by a number of States since 

2010. Because the Interim Conservation 

Practice Standard has been used so 

widely (10 thousand structures with 

financial assistance amounting to about 

$20 million), States recommended 

conversion of this interim standard to a 

new National Conservation Practice 

Standard. ‘‘High Tunnel System’’ (Code 

325) applies to ‘‘kits’’ that can be 

purchased from a number of suppliers. 

Improving plant health and vigor has 

been identified as the purpose of this 

standard. The conservation practice 

describes ‘‘an enclosed polyethylene, 

plastic, or fabric covered structure used 

to cover and protect crops from sun, 

wind, excessive rainfall, or cold to 

extend the growing season in an 

environmentally safe manner.’’ 

Signed this 26th day of January, 2015, in
