Indiana: Knowing what's watt
Even with leading edge technologies in place, Tony Goltstein of Union-Go Farm, Winchester, Ind, identified potential energy efficiencies in light fixtures, milk transfer pumps and scroll compressors.
Oregon: Lighting illuminates savings
By making changes to lighting and the laundry facility, Louie Kazemier of Portland, Ore, saved $13,337 per year based on a reduction of 214,850 kWh of electricity and a savings of 874 therms of natural gas.
Maryland: Installing compressors cuts costs
Ralph Shank of Hagerstown, Md., used an energy audit to discover that installing a high performance compressor on his milk cooling system would result in $1,670 savings per year and a 17,954 kWh reduction in electricity.
New York: Continuing 219-year legacy with energy upgrades
A farm energy audit led Craig and Linda Stevens of Fort Plains N.Y, to make two major upgrades on their 219-year-old farm saving nearly $1,600 per year based on reducing electricity use by 13,200 kWh. They also received a $4,100 incentive for installing energy-efficient equipment.
California: Optimizing vacuum pump cuts energy bills
In 1998, S&S Dairy optimized a vacuum pumping system at their dairy farm in Modesto, Calif. The evaluation led them to implement an optimization project that decreased the energy consumption and resulted in annual energy savings of $3,700 and 55,000 kWh. Learn how this project also cut the pump’s long-term maintenance costs.
California: Changing fan cools cows, saves energy
With the right fan, dairy farmers can help their cows beat the summertime heat and reclaim significant energy savings, according to a comparative report written by Thomas A. Shultz, dairy advisor emeritus for the University of California Cooperative Extension, and Paul Williams, industrial and agricultural engineer at Southern California Edison.
