why energy efficiency?

With the long-term reality of high energy costs, many producers are turning to energy efficiency measures to reduce expenses. Dairy, poultry and swine operations in particular have intensive electricity and natural gas requirements.

An energy-efficiency assessment through the OnFarm program will show you where the high energy demands are on your operation and identify ways to reduce these demands. Energy efficiency practices and technologies, ranging from light bulbs to large-scale infrastructure projects, can significantly reduce these costs and even pay for themselves over time.
