NV Ag, LLC is a greenhouse located in Wadsworth, Nev. that grows produce using rain water and the EPIC system. The plants live in a sand medium and the water rises one foot above the water line to reach the plants’ roots. The greenhouse is currently growing tomatoes and beans, but looks to grow a variety of fruits and vegetables. Video shot and edited by Jessica Fagundes, Nevada Department of Agriculture.
