Farm Energy Breaking News

A new Greenhouse Energy Cost Reduction Strategies website developed by horticulture researchers at Michigan State University is designed to help improve the profitability and sustainability of the state’s greenhouse industry. The site includes a compilation of studies on how to reduce energy costs conducted by researchers from MSU and other universities. Though the site is targeted at Michigan growers, the information is applicable to many other regions of the northern United States with similar climate patterns. Visitors to the website can locate timely information on a variety of topics, such as greenhouse lighting, temperature and scheduling, energy-saving technologies, alternative fuels, and energy grant and loan programs.
