SUMMARY:ASGA Call #56: SEIA Explains the U.S. Solar Panel Tariff Investigation and Its Impacts
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear the Solar Energy Industries Association’s Amir Yazdi discuss the anti-dumping tariff investigation on solar panel imports that has caused widespread disruptions to the solar industry. \n\n\n\nNote: This is a special second July webinar happening the second week of the month  \n\n\n\nBackground on the Solar Tariff Investigation:In February\, a small solar module manufacturer filed a petition with the Department of Commerce seeking to impose anti-dumping duties on solar imports from Cambodia\, Malaysia\, Thailand\, and Vietnam. Commerce’s decision to initiate the investigation left solar panel imports vulnerable to retroactive tariffs of up to 250%. \n\n\n\nThe possibility of retroactive tariffs on the majority of solar imports froze project construction\, reducing the availability of sites to graze and leading to long-term impacts for graziers. The case caused deployment estimates to be slashed until a Presidential Proclamation delayed the implementation of any potential tariffs until June 2024. \n\n\n\nIt goes without saying that this issue significantly impacts ASGA members. To help us navigate the issue\, Amir Yazdi from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) will present to ASGA members on the tariff case\, impacts\, and next steps. We’ll have a Q&A after his presentation. \n\n\n\nIn preparation for the webinar\, we ask that folks review SEIA’s latest guidance on the tariff case: \n\n\n\n▶️ US Solar Industry Sees Worst Quarter Since 2020 | SEIA \n\n\n\n▶️ President Biden’s Action Saves Solar Jobs\, Invests in American Solar Manufacturing | SEIA \n\n\n\n▶️ Bipartisan Lawmakers Representing Nearly 200 Million Americans Unite Against Solar Tariff Case | SEIA    \n\n\n\nHosts: Kevin Richardson (ASGA)\, ASGA Outreach Coordinator\, and Jonathan Barter\, ASGA Board President \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmir Yazdi: As Deputy General Counsel\, Amir works on SEIA’s consumer protection\, manufacturing\, and international trade initiatives along with providing in-house legal support to the association. Prior to SEIA\, Amir earned his B.S. in Physics from the College of William & Mary and J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWant to help support ASGA’s mission?\n\n\n\nPlease consider donating to ASGA in 2022\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollow us on Instagram @asga_solargrazing

SUMMARY:ASGA Call #53: Presenting the New Solar Grazing Contract Template
DESCRIPTION:Pace Law’s Food and Beverage Law Clinic has been working hard these last few months to update ASGA’s solar grazing contract template based on member feedback. At this month’s webinar\, Pace Law’s Gina Hervey\, Andie D’Angelo\, and Jonathan Brown will present the final revised contract and answer your questions about it. \n\n\n\nThe original contract was developed in partnership between ASGA and the Pace Law team in 2018. It has been a valuable resource for ASGA members\, as well as non-members. The goal of revising the contract was to take the experience of ASGA’s membership and remove parts that turned out be unnecessary or clunky\, add in missing elements and clauses\, and streamline the template to make it more adaptable to different grazing circumstances.  \n\n\n\nAs a result\, there is now one contract that covers all vegetation management. It is organized as a template for a Master Services Agreement (MSA) and corresponding Statements of Work (SOW) specific to each site a sheep grazer has with one solar company. \n\n\n\nWe’re excited to share the final product with you. \n\n\n\nWe want to thank everyone who participated in the feedback sessions on the contract or submitted written input to the Pace Law folks. ASGA members have provided excellent suggestions and edits based on their experience working with the contract\, and your contributions have helped the Pace Law team really improve the template.  \n\n\n\nHosts & Co-hosts: Kevin Richardson (ASGA)\, ASGA’s outreach coordinator\, will be your host\, and your co-host will be Ryan Kelliher\, a Program Manager at Nexamp Energy and an ASGA Board Member. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers\n\n\n\nEvents 3\n\n\n\nJonathan Brown is a Professor of Law at Pace University’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law and the Director of Pace’s Food and Beverage Law Clinic.

Income from the sheep pays for the farm restoration. \n\n\n\nIn 2018\, Judy had her first foray into solar grazing when she partnered with another local farmer to manage  vegetation on a small array. That enterprise led her to meet Lexie Hain and one thing led to another as they tend to do. Judy’s a founding member of ASGA. She sees solar grazing and agrivoltaics  as a way to keep solar farms farming. With the challenges facing the dairy industry in the northeast\, shifting to sheep might just be a way to save some farm families. In addition to shepherding\, Judy spends time riding horses and promoting her community’s rich history and exciting present. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWith special thanks to our sponsor:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWant to help support ASGA’s mission?\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPlease consider donating to ASGA in 2022\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFollow us on Instagram\n\n\n\n@asga_solargrazing

SUMMARY:ASGA Call #40: Kathy Voth Talks Grazing + Agrivoltaics Grad Student Policy Talk
DESCRIPTION:Please join us and our two fabulous guests for April’s ASGA call! Kathy Voth of On Pasture and Alexis Pascaris of Michigan Technical University speak on agrivoltaics & policy. \n\n\n\nKathy is the founder and publisher of On Pasture\, the most read grazing publication today. She’s also known for creating a simple method for teaching cows (and other livestock) to eat all of our most problematic weeds\, and for her research on the logistics and success of using goats to graze firebreaks to protect homes and firefighters. She’s the author of two how-to books: Cows Eat Weeds and Goats for Firesafe Homes in Wildland Areas. \n\n\n\nOn Pasture COUPON CODE for ASGA members:  ASGA2020 \n\n\n\nAlexis Sophia Pascaris (aspascar@mtu.edu) has several published papers just off the press in the emerging field of agrivoltaics policy (we’ll post them to the network prior to April 7).  Her research\, including stakeholder engagement and policy analysis\, is among the first to dive deep into the social and political dimensions of agrivoltaic system development in the U.S. During her time at Michigan Tech\, she has had the opportunity to work as a research assistant on a Department of Energy funded project that is investigating the feasibility of a novel agrivoltaic concept: co-farming pasture fed rabbits and solar PV.   \n\n\n\nYour ASGA hosts: Erica Frenay of Shelterbelt Farm and Cornell Small Farms Program & Lexie Hain \n\n\n\nWith thanks to our Sponsor:  \n\n\n\nEvents 17
