These tax payer supported endeavors should be evaluated on the basis
of what they return to society rather than the knee-jerk "I hate
government programs" drum beat of the tea-baggers and their ilk.

I'll produce at least 5 times the produce in my high tunnel and will
pay taxes on that income. I assume others will have a similar
experience. So the tax payer investment will be repaid.

More importantly the program has provided me the experience and
investment I needed to make a business out of this. I'll invest my own
money this year and next to put up more tunnels.
