New year could bring a boost for hydroponic business in Montana’s Hill County (Havre)

Inside the greenhouse at High Horizon Gardens, a hydroponic business just outside Havre, there are around 3,000 heads of lettuce growing.

While that may seem like a big number, it’s actually what would be considered a smaller operation. But that doesn’t make it any less important, especially at the beginning of the new year.

“Hydroponics is agriculture where you use water to grow your crops,” explained Cody Miles, co-owner of High Horizon Gardens.
