Gas levels, humidity, light, all things to be watched as tests and yields are monitored.

So why would they build the darn thing a quarter of mile away from the complex where they could not even visit on most occasions? They would have to pack the vegetables in insulated containers with hot water bottles to keep them from freezing on the way back to the facility. It’s a long walk In snow suits in 40 to 70° below zero trudging through the snow pulling a container full of vegetables.

What were they thinking…
