Wow! This is a lot of great and helpful information. It also seems a lot easier than I expected it would be. I will definitely be checking into this where we live to see if we can get one. Two questions I had is do you know how much it costs to install one of the hoop houses and what happens after the 5 year period? Do they still continue to come and checkout the hoop house?

    The prices vary depending on size and type. The grant's pay back of $4.60 per square foot is over double what they go for. We're looking at http://www.zimmermanshightunnels.com/ and these specs seem to be pretty reasonable nationwide.

    After the 5 yr period, the grant period is over and there are no rules. You can bring in tables, grow in hanging pots, etc.

    Nope. Your contract is finished!

    :D
