Energy efficiency experts are helping farmers save money

Energy efficiency experts are helping farmers save money: "Many of the expenses associated with large-scale agriculture don't give farmers much wiggle room, but energy efficiency offers some flexibility, said Mark Hanna, a scientist in the ISU Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering.



For instance, farmers can't do a lot about the costs associated with buying land, seeds and fertilizers.



But when it comes to energy consumption?
"The savings are there for the taking," Hanna said."
