Ambitious aquaponics plan in Montana’s Mission Valley
June 18, 2015 /
A Mission Valley farmer is planning an ambitious aquaponics project that, if fruitful, would be on the forefront of a burgeoning movement in sustainable agriculture.
"At full scale, we should produce 2.5 million heads of lettuce a year, which would make us a good size producer in the United States," says Tom West, owner of Aquarius Farms https://www.facebook.com/AquariusFarms .
West already raises organic produce on his acreage between Ronan and Polson. He hopes to secure financing and set up the aquaponics system by next spring.
