We took the old girls south today on our long drive to stockpile at the south farm. Our county sheriff is great. We had US 20 blocked for about 1 minute and 20 seconds. Very smooth.

Was just on WLPO in Illinois with @RadioRodThorson talking about #agrivoltaics and the upcoming @SolarFarmSummit at McCormick Place in Chicago.

Countdown to #SolarFarmSummit 2025! August 4-7th is rapidly approaching. Who’s ready?

Let’s take time to discuss how livestock & other enterprises (see the pumpkin patch) can be incorporated on #solar.

iSEE's 6th Critical Conversation was a big success, with participants sharing thoughtful views on solar farms, #agrivoltaics & more!
The keynote by Karen Maguire of @USDA_ERS on the tradeoffs of solar development in rural areas is now available online!

🌧️ weather
🚜 rising costs
💲 land access
These are some challenges our nation’s farmers and ranchers face daily. Our Brighter Future Fund provides grants to make it a little easier.

[American Farmland Trust @Farmland]

Take a look inside the 2024 @SolarFarmSummit! Nowhere else are this many leaders gathered to solve one of our greatest land use challenges: how to integrate agriculture w/ #solar energy so both industries can thrive. AFT was on hand to promote our #SmartSolar initiative. @NREL

[American Farmland Trust @Farmland]

We must plan for more resilient #foodsystems. But how? A new book released today by AFT’s Julia Freedgood aims to inform #planning practices and follow-up actions for a wide range of audiences working to strengthen America’s #food & #farming systems.

Thanks to all who joined us for Agrivoltaics Field Day! ☀️🌱

Key researchers with the SCAPES project discussed their work growing sorghum, soybeans, kale & other crops near solar panels at Solar Farm 2.0 and the @UofIllinois Energy Farm — and the potential benefits for farmers!

[American Farmland Trust @Farmland]

When ag & #solarenergy generation can thrive together, the future is bright! ☀ Our goal at the 2024 @SolarFarmSummit? To get farmers in the room to learn about opps created by farming, ranching, or grazing within solar arrays. https://t.co/AvQaQ5Wnyg

[Cor Solar and Electric @CorSolar]

Our team attended the @SolarFarmSummit in Chicago last week and learned many new insightful things within the agrivoltaics industry that we can't wait to use, which will help us expand opportunities to the farmers in our communities.

[iSEE at U of I @sustainILLINOIS]

Drawing on popular games like Farmville, creators of the SCAPES My Agrivoltaic Farm app used a strategy-based approach with realistic simulations, quests and charming animations to teach students about #agriculture and #sustainability! 🥬🍅☀️

@VaticanNews The future's as bright as we build, grow and raise it!!

[Vatican News @VaticanNews]

With the Apostolic Letter “Fratello sole,” Pope Francis provides for the construction of an agrivoltaic plant in the extraterritorial zone of Santa Maria in Galeria, where Vatican Radio maintains antennas for digital broadcasting.
