ROOTED IN YOUR SUCCESS

SMALL BUSINESS LIGHTING

Includes FREE assessmentThanks to a short payback period and simple installation, LED lighting upgrades are one of the best investments a farm can make. We offer up to $2,000 in free lighting incentives, so switching to LED lighting has never been easier. Why go LED? They use up to 75% less energy and last up to 50,000 hours, so you’ll spend less time on maintenance and replacement.

RETROFIT PROGRAM

Top farm, bottom lineDid you know that aging equipment actually costs more to run? A newer model energy-efficient fan, for example, can cut electricity costs by as much as half, and the payback can be as little as a few years. Our incentives help you cover out-of-pocket expenses for a broad range of upgrades. You’ll receive $0.05/kWh for lighting upgrades and $0.10/kWh for all other upgrades.

AUDIT FUNDING

Find out where you can saveWith the help of a professional energy auditor, you can better understand where your farm currently uses the most energy and identify the greatest potential for savings. We’ll pay up to 50% of the cost of an energy audit to get you on your way to savings.

Up to 50% Of the cost of an energy audit.

Save up to 33% per yearGet $187 per 18–20 foot fan. Keep livestock cool and costs down.

$300 per unitNew model waterers use less energy and ensure animals are never dehydrated.

20% per pumpAdding VFDs to irrigation pumps can cut your costs by up to 20%.

$200 per controllerTemperature controllers reduce heat energy use in animal housing.

Up to 75% less electricity LEDs drastically reduce energy use and with 50,000 hours of bulb life you’ll also save on replacements.

$118 per unit Heat pads outperform heat lamps when it comes to energy savings for crates, comfort stall creep areas and farrowing environments. And they don’t burn out like lamps do, risking a no-heat event.
