IMHO if you can pay for the tunnel in two years (maybe even three) and increase your income and sales penetration (i.e. more volume to each customer and/or attract more customers), then it's worth it.

I am planning to build one more 18 by 45 high tunnel.  I am thinking about two of them.  I already have two.  Now these are my homemade, economical models made of wood, pvc and metal.

Does it make sense to build the second one to have more early crops when probably the crops inside won't pay for the building, in one year,  However, overall, it will add $ because of the diversity of the produce available.  The other buildings will help pay for this building. 

Would like to know your thoughts.

Jay
