Alfred State, Suny College of Technology is putting together a model for
sustainable agriculture in Alfred, New York. Funded in part by a grant from the
New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets to work with farmers on
season extension and vegetable production. The greenhouse will provide a
learning center for students and an excellent source of data for growers looking for
an efficient means of production.
Dr. Matthew Harbur, Program Director for Organic and Sustainable Agriculture, has
worked closely with LED Grow Light to create a variety of systems. Herbs and
baby lettuce bouquets will be grown for use in the Alfred State cafeteria. Upon
completion, the greenhouse will show working models of the NFT system, Ebb and
Flow systems, and Aquaponics. Supplemental lighting has been provided by LED
Grow Light and will be used in a mixture of configurations for testing purposes.
For growers that need to see to believe- this is an ideal situation. Alfred State has
agreed to make their data and pictures available to the public. The greenhouse is
currently being fitted with web cams and a learning group will be invited to work
with the systems upon completion. If you are interested in following the progress of
our led grow lights at Alfred State, we will be sharing links and data through our
website www.ledgrowpro.com–AL
