Solar Power for Crops and Cows: Why Montana’s Farmers and Ranchers are Embracing Solar
February 11 @ 9:00 pm – 10:00 pm EST
Gallatin Valley Earth Day and the League of Women Voters of Montana put together a panel discussion with three Montana ranchers & a solar installer about why and how ranchers are installing huge solar arrays.
Installing solar is easier than you think! Join to learn how to qualify for the federal tax credit and how a solar PV system can save overhead and operating costs in the short term and long term. An investment for future generations that helps families stay on the ranch or farm!
