SUMMARY:Pennsylvania Sheep & Wool Festival
DESCRIPTION:In the heart of Smicksburg\, PA\, the seed for the Pennsylvania Sheep and Wool Festival was sown. An artisan shoppe owner\, alongside four passionate fiber artists\, dreamed of creating a celebration that would honor the journey from farm to fiber. With a vision of connecting artisans with the community\, they decided to host an intimate festival at the shoppe to lay the groundwork for a larger gathering at the local fairgrounds in the following year. \n\n\n\nAs planning began\, they were determined to showcase every facet of the wool and fiber industry\, from sheep herding to fiber artistry. Conversations turned to collaboration when they contacted Dan Turner\, President of the Pennsylvania Sheep and Wool Growers Association. Their collective enthusiasm sparked a new direction\, leading to a united effort between local creators and established organizations. \n\n\n\nThus\, the Pennsylvania Sheep and Wool Festival was born—a celebration of creativity\, community\, and the rich heritage of sheep farming in Pennsylvania. Join us in honoring this journey that began in a quaint shoppe and is destined to grow! \n\n\n\nDayton Fairgrounds 1249 PA-839Dayton\, PAUnited States \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://www.pasheepandwoolfest.com/ \n\n\n\n\nEvent Page

SUMMARY:Iowa State University Agrivoltaics Open House
DESCRIPTION:Iowa State University\, has initiated a public-private partnership with Alliant Energy on the design and construction of the The Alliant Energy Solar Farm at Iowa State University where they explore growing crops within and around photovoltaic (PV) panels to quantify the benefits of agrivoltaic practices. At this site they explore a subset of agricultural activities most amenable to the unique environment of a solar farm\, and develop best practices for economic and environmentally sustainable production practices conducted within solar farms designed for mega-watt scale production. This partnership allows them to estimate the impact of agricultural practices around PV panels on the microclimate and subsequent PV efficiency. They will measure these potential impacts while also analyzing the multiple economic costs and values to developers\, utilities\, farmers and rural communities affecting agrivoltaic development in the Midwest. They have assembled a multi-disciplinary team\, in cooperation with public and private entities\, to address the intersecting needs of various stakeholders including but not limited to: PV developers and utilities with contracts for PV\, landowners\, and farmers interested in agrivoltaics. This DOE funded project will determine if and under what conditions agrivoltaic practices in the Midwest can benefit local food production systems and what resources are needed to assist multiple stakeholders. \n\n\n\nIowa State University is offering a 2025 Open House Series to visit the Alliant Energy Solar Farm. \n\n\n\nAlliant Energy Solar Farm 52166 260th StAmes\, IAUnited States \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://agrivoltaics.research.iastate.edu/ \n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:ASGA Call 89: “Apivoltaics” - Beekeeping on Solar + Grazing Compatibility
DESCRIPTION:Combining honey production and solar energy is a great way to carry out highly beneficial agricultural production on solar arrays. Many solar sites are also bringing beekeeping and pollinator vegetation together with sheep grazing and exploiting the exciting potential of lamb and honey. \n\n\n\n​Like solar grazing\, beekeeping on solar sites requires a skilled application and expertise. Combining sheep grazing with pollinator plants similarly requires thoughtful planning. \n\n\n\n​Join us for our annual webinar on pollinators and beekeeping\, and their implications for sheep production. We’ll be joined by solar beekeepers from different regions of the country who will share their expertise on how to successfully combine honey production and solar energy. They’ll provide an introduction to their solar apiary operations\, discuss beehive placement on solar sites\, and how to work with solar developers. \n\n\n\n​At ASGA\, we hear a lot about the misconception that you can’t put sheep and pollinators in the same place. During the webinar\, our expert speakers will also discuss how to do both\, including what plants to include in sites that are good for sheep and pollinators and things to look out for when combining the two practices. \n\n\n\n​Speakers: \n\n\n\n\n​Allison Wickham\, Siller Pollinator Company\n\n\n\n​Travis Snyder\, Wind and Sky Apiaries \n\n\n\n\n​Helpful resources: \n\n\n\n\n​Agrisolar Clearinghouse Solar Beekeeping Fact Sheet – https://www.agrisolarclearinghouse.org/fact-sheet-making-the-case-for-solar-beekeeping\n\n\n\nASGA Solar Beekeeping Contract: https://solargrazing.org/solar-beekeeping-contract/\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Apivoltaics” – Beekeeping on Solar + Grazing CompatibilityTuesday\, September 2nd at 6:00pm ET \n\n\n\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Iowa State University Agrivoltaics Open House
DESCRIPTION:Iowa State University\, has initiated a public-private partnership with Alliant Energy on the design and construction of the The Alliant Energy Solar Farm at Iowa State University where they explore growing crops within and around photovoltaic (PV) panels to quantify the benefits of agrivoltaic practices. At this site they explore a subset of agricultural activities most amenable to the unique environment of a solar farm\, and develop best practices for economic and environmentally sustainable production practices conducted within solar farms designed for mega-watt scale production. This partnership allows them to estimate the impact of agricultural practices around PV panels on the microclimate and subsequent PV efficiency. They will measure these potential impacts while also analyzing the multiple economic costs and values to developers\, utilities\, farmers and rural communities affecting agrivoltaic development in the Midwest. They have assembled a multi-disciplinary team\, in cooperation with public and private entities\, to address the intersecting needs of various stakeholders including but not limited to: PV developers and utilities with contracts for PV\, landowners\, and farmers interested in agrivoltaics. This DOE funded project will determine if and under what conditions agrivoltaic practices in the Midwest can benefit local food production systems and what resources are needed to assist multiple stakeholders. \n\n\n\nIowa State University is offering a 2025 Open House Series to visit the Alliant Energy Solar Farm. \n\n\n\nAlliant Energy Solar Farm 52166 260th StAmes\, IAUnited States \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://agrivoltaics.research.iastate.edu/ \n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:The Expanse of Agrivoltaics Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This webinar series focuses on solar grazing for cattle and sheep\, as well as growing forages or grain crops under solar panels. \n\n\n\nThe practice of grazing livestock under solar panels has become increasingly popular. It is often referred to as “agrivoltaics” or “solar grazing.” This system uses land for both solar energy production and livestock grazing or crop production. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, three trailblazers in agrivoltaics —Peter Schmitt (US Solar)\, Byron Kominek (Colorado Agrivoltaic Learning Center)\, and Lexie Hain (Lightsource bp) —share hands-on experience integrating pollinator habitats\, vegetable production\, field crops\, and livestock grazing beneath solar panels. Discover how they’re transforming solar sites into thriving\, multifunctional landscapes. \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://extension.umn.edu/event/expanse-agrivoltaics \n\n\n\n\nRSVP

SUMMARY:ALB-ASGA Certified Solar Grazing Training Workshop in Maryland
DESCRIPTION:The American Solar Grazing Association is excited to announce that the American Lamb Board will be hosting a ASGA Certified Solar Grazing Training for farmers this August (08/11-08/13) in Queen Anne’s County\, Maryland. \n\n\n\nThe workshop is sponsored by Urban Grid and the onsite portion of the training will be hosted on their Jones Farm Solar Site. \n\n\n\nOver the 3-day training\, participants will learn the solar grazing training standards set by ASGA\, which covers the basic subjects a sheep rancher should be versed in to manage vegetation on a solar site. The workshop includes a live demonstration on a site grazed by solar sheep.  \n\n\n\nNew solar projects are creating opportunities for sheep producers to graze their flocks on solar sites and start solar grazing enterprises.
