Preliminary work has begun on the new Vermillion Growers greenhouse.
Over the weekend crews are digging holes on the site of the future building.
Lucky Deschauer, of Vermillion Farm Holdings, explains what is going on in the field north of town.
“What we’re doing today is doing some final testing on the clay levels for our retention ponds. This is where we are going to be holding water, catching all the service water from the top of the building and the ground and storing it for use in plants.”
For those wondering what is going on over the next couple of weeks, Deschauer says it’s a lot of early work.
“I think you will see things like surveyors coming out, initial ground movement going on. I say, sometime in June people will start to see a lot more action.”
Samples collected this weekend will be sent to a lab for testing to determine the compact ability of the ground and then scientists will be able to tell Vermillion Growers what they exactly have to do next.
