Agriculture in the Far North
Agriculture and horticulture in Alaska is distinct. Growers, farmers and gardeners must contend with unpredictably short growing seasons, yearly infestations of various insects, long daylight hours and even the occasional mid-season frost. While consumers may have a difficult time finding informed advice from "Outside,” local Extension agriculture and horticulture agents and specialists are highly trained professionals who experience the same challenges as residents.
