Use this online tool to assess and improve your farm operation's energy efficiency. The toolkit, developed jointly by Focus on Energy and the University of Wisconsin-Extension, will help you identify areas for improvement and suggest energy-efficient equipment options for your farm.
All it takes is a few minutes to collect the information and work through the assessment tool. The results will help you identify maintenance issues, new processes or equipment that could improve your bottom line. The assessment tool can also provide you with information that will help you make an informed decision between two competing technologies.
Visit the Farm Assessment Toolkit to get started! Each assessment will take 10-20 minutes to complete. At the end of each assessment, you will get a report showing your responses along with any energy tips that might be appropriate.
In some cases, grants are available to reduce the cost of implementing energy saving technologies. Contact Focus on Energy at 800-762-7077 and ask for a member of the Agriculture and Rural Business team to see if you quality.
