In a 30X96 tunnel I have ~670 plants, so there is 4 1/4 sqft per plant.

What does that work out to in terms of square feet per plant? I grow mine at 2 feet apart in the row, 42 inches between row centers, so about 7 square feet per plant.Sounds like yours are tighter.

In the high tunnel I grow my tomatoes 16" apart in the row in a two row bed with 16" between the rows.  They are trellised on a string and with the exception of the cherry tomatoes, all suckers are pruned.
