What's so wrong with our senator supporting production in Alaska. I say kudos to any politician  supporting Alaska jobs versus the out of state shippers, out of state growers, the out of USA growers in Mexico, ect. The overall plan with this program is to make Alaska less reliant on other states and countries for its produce. It's to develop better growing techniques. If successful on these smaller scale operations, it could be used in larger operations, creating jobs for Alaskans, deversifying our economy, not to mention fresher food. Have you compared the tomatoes from Mexico to the Alaska grown tomatoes in these high tunnels? You may not realize it, but our food is subsidized by the federal government, otherwise we would be paying 8$ for a gallon of milk in Anchorage and 18 $ a gallon in the remote communities. This is an economical benefit to Alaska, without question.
