About this Event
With the current needs for diversified energy generation in SC, farms have a great opportunity to include solar in their operations. This class will discuss options for livestock under solar, business strategies, and grant funding opportunities. The focus of this class is to ensure that if farmers participate in alternative energy generation, they can continue to farm for generations to come while paving the way to a sustainable future.
Please register by Thursday, January 16th.
