Author: Morgan Hayes

Planning Unit: Biosystems & Agr Engineering

Major Program: Farm Management, Economics and Policy

Outcome: Initial Outcome

In November 2022, faculty from the BAE department including Morgan Hayes, Josh Jackson, Sam McNeill, Doug Overhults, Tyler Barzee and Mike Montross put together an initial agent in-service training in Clark County to educate on energy usage and the opportunity for alternative energy sources including solar on farms.  The training included a half day of classroom presentations from both faculty and local energy cooperatives as well as a tour of a site which highlighted some of the concepts discussed in the morning session.  The feedback was encouraging however with only three agents able to attend, the session will need to be repeated next year.
