Every year I see more and more greenhouses built for tobacco transplant production.
Farmers grow plants for their own use as well as selling to their friends and neighbors.
The initial cost of a greenhouse is a bit of an investment no matter what it will be used for. A greenhouse gives the grower greater flexibility in what he wants to grow and when he wants to grow it. What advantage one has with a growing structure such as a greenhouse. Tobacco growers use their greenhouses for approximately 3 months and allow them to sit empty for 9 months. It seems senseless that Kentuckians are satisfied to let California, Florida, or any other state continue to dominate the vegetable market in this state.
