According to the USDA, the best way agricultural businesses can lower costs is through energy efficiency.

Advantages of energy efficiency in agriculture include reduced operating costs, greater profits, increased productivity and decreased environmental impact. This is accomplished through implementing efficiency measures to lighting, plate coolers, ventilation and fans, irrigation pumps, grain dryers, heating and refrigeration, weatherization, motor controls, and more. Our team also has experience working with federal programs such as REAP (Rural Energy for America Program) to leverage funding for farmers to implement clean energy, such as PV solar, and improve energy efficiency at their farms.
