Solar energy can provide farmers with invaluable power options on the farm. It is convenient and inexpensive. Join Farmer Thomas Roberson as he discusses solar energy options in use on his small 10-acre farm. Learn about design basics, solar operations, and how he uses it for electric fencing, powering his well and cooling his high tunnels during the summer.
