Using this budget, farmers can estimate the costs and returns for raising lettuce in a high tunnel. Table 1 presents estimates for Missouri based on price forecasts in January 2025. The budget assumes head lettuce is grown in a 2,000-square-foot high tunnel system under trickle irrigation and sold wholesale. Capital investments and a sensitivity analysis are summarized in Tables 2 and 3. Use the “Your estimate” column to plan your high tunnel lettuce operation’s costs and returns.
