DESCRIPTION:Cornell Cooperative
 Extension of Oswego County will host a workshop on energy efficiency and
 renewable energy, featuring three
 presenters from CCE Tompkins who support farms across NY State with information
 and resources to help them make informed decisions about energy use. They will
 cover the energy assessment process, small-scale wind to supply on-farm needs,
 as well as discussions about solar development and opportunities for co-locating
 agriculture with solar ("agrivoltaics").Gabriel
 Gurley, Ag Energy NY Program Manager, will cover how to maximize the energy
 efficiency of your farm operations. In this case, both energy-efficient
 technologies and practices create opportunities to optimize energy use and
 lower operating costs. He'll provide information to give you a better
 understanding of farm energy use, including farm energy assessments and how to
 use those results to make sound investment decisions. Jordan Clements,
 Distributed Wind Educator, will talk about small-scale wind energy and how you
 could implement it on your farm. He’ll present on what makes distributed wind
 different from other types of wind systems, and the costs and incentives
 available to farmers. He'll show tools that can help you decide if distributed
 wind is right for you. For those interested in on-site solar or leasing for
 solar development, Guillermo Metz, Ag & Solar Senior Resource Educator,
 will go over what that process looks like, address some common concerns about
 solar and the impacts of solar on farmland, what happens at the end of a
 project's life, and the latest research on what grows well under or around
 solar panels.
