Sunrain Varieties Opens Expanded Facility in Idaho Falls
IDAHO FALLS, ID – Sunrain Varieties LLC has completed a series of capital improvements in its Idaho Falls facilities.
Sunrain added two new greenhouses plus a 25,000 cwt. storage unit. These additions will increase mini tuber production by nearly 40%, according to a press release.
The company also added additional office space and on-site testing equipment. Its existing on-site farm was also upgraded by adding a state of the art irrigation system to the 140-acre plot.
The Idaho Falls facility is the centerpiece of Sunrain’s nationwide trial program that now spans 12 different states. In the program, the team of field agronomists makes sure that it is bringing in the best product to market by growing its own tissue cultures, plantlets and mini tubers in highly controlled environments.
Sunrain will hold a new product showcase and open house at the new facility on August 13th, 2014. If you would like more information about this topic, or to schedule an interview, please contact Rainey Carraballo at (208) 552-3096 ext. 1007 or e-mail [email protected].
