Outdoor plants are vulnerable to insects and disease in traditional farming methods, but in a greenhouse, this is much easier to control. Diseases are minimized by growing in a controlled environment, by the culture of safety, and by working closely with local experts, plant pathologists, and many other resources. Our Insect Pest Management Program controls pests and insects to enable healthy plant growth.
U.S.Hydroponics is the first large scale commercial hydroponic farm of its kind in the Texas Panhandle, just outside Amarillo. This allows a locally sourced farming situation to provide premium produce anywhere in the Tri-State area, eliminating week long arrival times for fresh produce. Farm to Fork is truly a reality in this region now!
U.S. Hydroponics provides premium produce in a controlled environment. Our production is not affected by seasons, or inclimate weather. This makes an environment for thriving plants, to produce the best tasting vegetables and herbs all year long.
Our indoor gardens provide everything the plants need, just when they need it. We have complete control over the nutrients sourced to the plants. This contributes to healthier, and more nutritious produce.
- Traditional agriculture methods can cause inefficiencies in the usage of water, land,and energy. Hydroponic farming uses 90% less water and 70% less land than field grown produce.
- In hydroponics, the plant roots are in a nutrient- rich water at all times. U.S.Hydroponics re-circulates the same water and the nutrient solution with minimal waste.
- We utilize a soilless culture, therefore eliminating soil erosion, or loss of precious nutrients. We use 70% less land to grow the same amount of lettuce grown outdoors.
It is estimated that by 2050, we will need to double the amount of crops we grow to feed 2 billion more people in the world. There is no more land, so different methods of production need to be acquired to fill this demand. Hydroponics is one of them.
In the future, while you're enjoying one of our fresh fruits, vegetables or herbs with your family or friends, you can know U.S.Hydroponics is doing right by Mother nature by conserving natural resources. USH is committed to doing our part in helping to feed the world while preserving our planet. U.S.Hydroponics will deliver safe and nutritious produce grown for a healthy future and a happy planet.
