WWIAStrobel Shadeswww.strobelshades.comHow does solar work?Solar panels generate DC energy that is sent to an inverter that converts it to AC energy that youcan use for your home or business. The system is integrated with your operation and utilitymaking everything seamless. No need for any crazy upgrades to integrate solar. Any excessenergy that you are not using at the time will be sent back to the grid and you will build credits.When the sun sets you will use the credits that you build up.○ Let's clarify what we do. We are not involved in “solar farms utility grade” WE DO NOTTAKE UP HUNDREDS OF ACRES OF FARMLAND○ We help offset the cost of electricity of operations by installing solar that is connected tothe grid. Depending on the interconnection agreement the solar system can offset50-100%.○ You will still get a power bill but reduced. Saving thousands of dollars every month. Why should farmers invest in solar?The biggest motivation to go solar is the money the farmers can save by reducing monthly power bills andfreeing up capital that can be diverted elsewhere or added to the bottom line.Solar IncentivesUSDA REAP GRANT50% Total Project up to 1 Million dollarsInvestment Tax Credit30% Tax Credit - This goes against your tax liability. It can carry back 3 years or carry forward up to 22years.New law has passed that you can sell the tax credits as well.Depreciation- A solar energy system is classified as farm equipment.There are also bonus credits depending on location.How much does a solar energy system cost?There isn’t a one-size-fits-all option for solar. Every system is unique. There are many factors to consider.This would include whether it will be roof mounted or ground mounted. How much trenching,wiring,conduit, panel count,inverter count and specific engineering. The great news is that panel priceshave dropped in price and will remain flat for a long time. When you add up all the incentives and theycan be applied, the incentives pay for the entire project.What is an interconnection agreement?The agreement establishes all the terms and conditions associated with operating the customer's solarsystem in parallel with the utility's electric power system. Every electricity company is different.Especially in rural areas. A lot of these terms and conditions haven’t been updated since the 1980s. What size solar energy system will my farm need?Accuracy is absolutely imperative in order to set realistic expectations. We use the most recent 12months worth of utility data and analyze everything. This ranges from energy pattern, rate structure,demand charges, on and off peak. We use sophisticated technology to analyze ROI, IRR, paybackperiod and 25 year savings. Also a financial model is presented along with any type of loan option if oneis requested. We even take a look at the last 30 years of historical weather data in the exact location ofthe project. Attention to every detail is important for someone to have the best experience possible.Why go solar now? Won't the technology be cheaper down the road?There has never been a better time to pursue a solar project. The panel technology is so efficient thatfuture technology will be incremental. The alignment of incentives and grants has made this investment ano brainer. There is no other piece of farm equipment that has a 30% tax credit and a grant that cancover up to 50% of the cost. The reality of the grant is we don't know the future of the grant in 2025. It ispossible that it can be reduced or stay the same. The fact is it would be a gamble to wait.What is the process for going solar?Evaluation of ProjectContract ExecutionEngineering DesignPermitting & InterconnectionApprovalEquipment ProcurementInstallation & CommissionLong-Term O&M andMonitoringWill solar panels power my building when the grid is down?These systems are interconnected with the grid. If the grid goes down the solar shuts down. This is asafety measure with the utility company. There cannot be any live power while the lineman are working tofix any grid issues. This is where a battery backup can be introduced. Battery technology is still very newand the prices will come down over the years. This should be the last resort considering all farms havegenerators.

First of all, I want you to have this breakthrough where you realize you do know what you need to do. So take out a piece of paper and I want you to draw a line down the center. When was a time that you felt happier than you feel right now? Now on the left hand side of the paper, I want you to write down all the things that were happening in your life then.Like what did your day to day life look like? So you start to write. I left the house at 7 a. m. I was at school all day with my friends. I went to lacrosse practice. I exercised every day. And I'm like, great, now write down what your life looks like now. I sleep till noon. I drink every day. I don't leave the house.I don't exercise. Like, compare. Mm hmm.

Brandon Hunnicutt works with his father and brother on land that has been in his family for nearly 120 years. As a 5th generation Nebraska farmer, his days are packed with farm responsibilities, yet he finds time to serve on the National Corn Growers Association and Nebraska Checkoff boards, act as chair of Field to Market, and chase around his seven kids. He’s also learning as much as he can about carbon and sustainability. ​“And when I’m really bored, I start learning about blockchain, because why not?” he laughs.Today, Brandon’s farm grows corn, popcorn, soybeans, and seed corn. Giltner, Nebraska, where Hunnicutt Farms is located, is a good area for corn. In fact, Nebraska is the Cornhusker State for a reason — the state ranks third in the nation for corn production overall, and first in popcorn. Although the farm has been operating for over a century, the challenges Brandon and his family face today are very different from past decades. Not too long ago, cross-pollination and herbicide drift weren’t understood as serious issues, and many growers didn’t think about an insecticides’ ability to kill everything in a field — harmful or not — from an environmental perspective. Today, concerns about the environment and climate change play a much larger role in farm operations and Brandon has seen the focus shift to the broader environmental impact of these practices.“ These are nuances that growers weren’t thinking about even 25 years ago,” he says.

www.agleader.comwww.steinbauer.uswww.johndeere.comFarm Progress Show 2023Mike Newland Mike Newland and I’m the director of agriculture business development for the Propane Education & Research Council, or PERC as you might know us.PERC is an organization that is funded by the propane industry to provide training and education on the safe use of propane in a variety of markets, including agriculture. We also work with partners to develop new propane technologies and initiatives. One of those partnerships is with Sukup Manufacturing. Explore Mike’s career and hobbies….What is Propane?How is Propane formed?What is propane made of?Why is it called LP?What’s the difference between propane and natural gas?How long has propane been around?How long will it be around – will we run out?Where does propane come into play for agriculture?Reliability: Not only does your equipment have to be reliable, but the energy used to power it must be too. There are many reasons our customers choose propane to power their equipment but the reliability of the energy source itself is certainly a key reason too. Environmental Benefits: There is a lot of talk about clean energy and “electrifying everything” to curb emissions. While we at PERC are all about propane, we know that it will take a variety of energy sources working together to achieve sustainability and decarbonization goals. Versatility: So many uses for propane, but Let’s talk about some of those lesser-known applications or the other ways propane can be used.Agriculture(organic), Transportation, Home Use, others?Cost savings: (True Farm4Profit Value) Producers face very high costs for all farm inputs including energy. How has LP varied in cost compared to alternative energy sources?What are ways listeners can save by using propane?The Grain Drying Calculator allows users to simply input their average expected yield to determine the propane gallons needed to dry their crops by a specific moisture percentage. By planning and filling tanks before the hustle of harvest and winter seasons, you can make sure you have the energy you need—when you need it.

Truterra helps them track and monitor to eventually be able to report for scope 3 purposes. It may oftentimes be the same practices farmers are doing (reducing tillage, cover crops etc) that result in carbon credits, but a company is able to then take credit for this quality within their supply chain.Truterra’s role is to bridge the gap between farmers and companies with sustainability goals who choose agriculture to be a part of their toolkit of solutions.QuestionsWhat is a sustainable supply shed?Why are companies interested in it?

Carbon, acres, etc…What is the goal? How much does it pay?What else did we miss? Conclusion:Recap of key points and takeaways from the interview.ChallengeThanking the guest for their valuable insights & share contact information If you could go back to tell yourself something at age 18, what would you say? · The DeLong Company launched the new brand, Grown Climate Smart, which is dedicated to incentivizing and supporting the development of sustainable practices on farms. This brand is developed and managed by The DeLong Company Which was awarded a $40 million Climate-Smart Commodities USDA grant to develop and market a new brand that aims to track greenhouse gas reductions and resulting from growers implementing climate-smart practices.o The DeLong Company is a 6th generation family owned business with 38 grain, seed, agronomy and export logistics locations around the country. The DeLong Company is the largest U.S. exporter of containerized agricultural products.· We have over 200,000 sustainably farmed acres producing grain enrolled in the program for 2023.o - corn, soybeans, wheat, rye, sorghum, alfalfa· The four practices we are encouraging farmers to do areo Cover Cropso Reduced or No Tillo Nutrient Management Planso Windbreak Establishments or Renovations Other Talking points about sustainable farming· A key issue that the program seeks to address is the lack of a standardized definition of a Climate Smart Commodity. Grown Climate Smart hopes to not only establish a definition but provide clear examples and practices that meet climate-smart requirements.o A CSC will be defined as a commodity produced on an acre of ground that employs a minimum of one high benefit NRCS practice, follows the general guidelines of the program, and is marketed and labeled as a CSC.o The adoption of the practice should have a measurable impact on carbon reduction, and the commodity should be traceable in the supply chain. The implementation of this program will better define what a CSC is by identifying and communicating specific practices to be enrolled in a climate smart program, educating producers on CSC implementation practices, communicating and educating producers on how these CSC practices reduce GHG emissions and improve carbon sequestration, and marketing and labeling products as CSCs. Establishing a clear definition will enable CSCs to be effectively marketed to consumers.· Importance of Soil Health: The significance of soil health in sustainable and regenerative farming practices. Healthy soil supports plant growth, sequesters carbon, improves water retention, and promotes biodiversity.· Sustainable farming integrates three things: environmental health, economic profitability, and social and economic equity.· Sustainable practices are becoming more the norm, and less niche but we still have considerable work to do.o I have some statistics I can provide from the USDA regarding the 4 practice trends over time.
