Make Your Farm Energy Self-Sufficient

Solar energy, wind power, veggie oil fuel, and other alternative forms of energy are not as novel as they used to be. Many farmers and ranchers have converted some or almost all of their energy inputs to alternatives. Now, decades later, they say they would have done things much differently if they had known which vehicles were the best to convert to veggie oil or which configuration of solar panels gave the best watts per buck. Solar pumping of water has evolved as much as solar panels over the years. This workshop is designed to make sure farmers who are considering alternative energy options can learn from the mistakes of the pioneers, avoiding expensive problems.
