INTRODUCTION Production of raspberries in Arkansas is growing.
Demand for these fresh berries still typically exceeds supply in much of the state, particularly early and late in the production season.
Commercial production with high tunnels offers promise for those producers willing to make the necessary capital investment.

HIGH TUNNEL ADVANTAGESHigh tunnel production can help to:
Minimize• Fruit Damage (freeze)
Advance • Harvest Season
Reduce• Pesticide Use
Improve• Fruit Quality
Distribute• Workload • Cash Flow

BACKGROUND
Arkansas
• Six cultivars• Field or high tunnel
production • Interactive (Excel)• Graphical Tools• Activities by year
Other States
• One cultivar • Field production only• Hard copy (paper) or
Interactive (excel) but without high tunnel production
• Activities by month (some)

DESIGNThis budget was developed to allow producers to compare among different cultivar varieties and high tunnel dimensions.

Customized Report Print
DESIGNThe only thing that the producer needs to do is to select or to enter basic information; the budget will be created automatically.

LIMITATIONS Certain level of general computer knowledge is
required
Producers must have access to a computer with Microsoft Excel 2007 installed and working properly to take advantage of this budget (Macros must be enabled)
Activities are not broken down on a month-to-month basis

Estimate
• Cultivars• Field vs. High Tunnel Compare
• Default Values• Own ValuesModify
• “What If” QuestionsAnswer
