On-Farm Energy Savings - the Devil's in the Details

This month in the Sustaining Farming on the Urban Fringe Briefing, we show you where to find answers on figuring out where your energy dollars are being spent and how to maximize efficient energy use - in a way that's understandable for us mere mortals.

The NJAES Ag Engineering team has produced three fact sheets and, in partnership with NRCS NJ USDA, will hold workshops stepping through the various processes this week. Don't miss them.

  • Understanding On-Farm Utility Costs and Billing FS1128
  • Lowering On-Farm Utility Costs with Electricity Monitors, includes a case about monitoring a typical NJ diversified farm operation.
  • Assessing On-Farm Equipment Efficiency & Energy Use, details nameplate information and how to use it to calculate motor efficiency.
