Cooperative Extension, in partnership with Carolina Land & Lakes Resource Conservation & Development, is inviting all regional farmers interested in learning about renewable energy to a free seminar during the evening of July 19, at the Watauga Agricultural Conference Center, beginning at 6 p.m.

Rural small business owners and farmers are invited to hear about available cost share and grant opportunities toward energy upgrades for operations, with examples presented on successful and current projects in the region. Like some of the examples to be highlighted, local famers may be able to receive help in heating workspaces, upgrading workplace lighting, generating electricity at the farm or business, and/or upgrading insulation, cooling equipment, or even greenhouse plastics.
