SUMMARY:ASGA Call 98: Planning for Healthy Solar Sheep Management - A New Resource from ASGA
DESCRIPTION:Having a good flock health management plan allows solar graziers to uphold animal health standards while reassuring solar owner and operators that their farmer partners are following industry best practices. \n\n\n\n​While plenty of excellent sheep health resource exist\, until now there has not been a set of standards for healthy sheep management on solar sites. ASGA is proud to present our new “Guide to Developing a Flock Health Management Plan in a Solar Grazing System” to fill that gap. \n\n\n\n​The resource is meant to guide solar graziers as they develop flock health management plans with their contracted veterinarian. This will help ensure animal health remains at the core of their solar grazing operation. \n\n\n\n​At the webinar\, an expert panel of solar graziers\, veterinarians\, and extension specialists will go through the checklist and discuss key aspects of implementation. After the presentation\, there will be an audience Q&A with the speakers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlanning for Healthy Solar Sheep Management – A New Resource from ASGAWednesday\, June 3rd\, at 2:00pm ET \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration link: https://luma.com/n82eibz4

SUMMARY:New World Screwworm in the United States: Guidance from the American Sheep Industry Association
DESCRIPTION:There are now confirmed cases of New World Screwworm (NWS) in the United States. The American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) has published important guidance for sheep producers on how to prepare for it\, implement risk reduction\, and treat it.  \n\n\n\nAt this special webinar\, Dr. Rosie Busch\, who co-authored ASI’s guide with Dr. Cynthia Wolf\, will walk us through that guidance and explain how to stay updated on NWS developments. Dr. Busch will also discuss where graziers can find information on interstate animal movement requirements in their states. \n\n\n\nFollowing Dr. Busch’s discussion\, Dr. Jake Thorne from Texas A&M Agrilife Extension will provide updates on how NWS is affecting Texas.  \n\n\n\nFinally\, Dr. Hannah Varnell will cover guardian dog treatments\, and Texas solar grazier Chad Raines (Key Farms) will discuss how he is communicating with solar industry clients about NWS. \n\n\n\nThis webinar is for informational purposes only and does not replace the need for on-site veterinary expertise.  \n\n\n\nPlease consult Screwworm.gov for the latest updates from the USDA. This is an important and evolving issue that every grazier should be aware of. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew World Screwworm in the United States: Guidance from the American Sheep Industry AssociationTuesday\, June 30th\, at 8:00pm ET \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration link: https://luma.com/79zqd7qn

SUMMARY:When Farms Make Power: Challenges and Opportunities for Agrivoltaics
DESCRIPTION:Farmland and solar farms usually compete for the same land. But what if one field could do both? That’s the idea behind agrivoltaics: combining solar panels with crops or grazing on the same plot\, so land can grow food and generate energy at once. \n\n\n\nAs clean energy demand grows\, more land is being used for solar. Meanwhile\, farmers face drought\, rising costs\, and a need for new income. Agrivoltaics offers one answer to both. Research shows it can reduce drought stress on crops\, lower heat on solar panels\, improve microclimates\, and give farmers a second revenue stream. \n\n\n\nJoin for a live webinar on agrivoltaics presented by Dr. Lisa Bosman of Purdue University. She’ll cover the basics of agrivoltaic systems\, their benefits\, and the real-world barriers to wider adoption\, from policy gaps to a lack of decision-making tools. \n\n\n\nDr. Bosman will also share her own research\, including a solar valuation tool\, predictive maintenance work\, supply and demand forecasting\, and an agrivoltaic decision support system that helps farmers weigh the costs and benefits of adding solar to their land. \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://www.engineeringforchange.org/webinars/when-farms-make-power-challenges-and-opportunities-for-agrivoltaics/ \n\n\n\n\nRSVP

SUMMARY:Solar Farm Supper & After Party
DESCRIPTION:Real solar-farmed produce\, really good food\, and really good folks will join honored guests for full evening of fun at the Solar Farm House! \n\n\n\nJoin us on September 9 for a full evening of agrivoltaics-enabled fun in the first in a limited series of exciting new farming + solar events in Chicago produced by the Solar Farm Summit in its own space\, Solar Farm House! The best of the Midwest will be on a menu inspired by Executive Chef Dan French’s own culinary roots—including hearty roasts\, fresh vegetables\, fresh-baked goods\, and classic desserts—reimagined by a kitchen team that honors where our food comes from and holds reverence for who is doing the hard work to produce. \n\n\n\nTucked into the heart of downtown Chicago next to the United Center\, Solar Farm House is more than a friendly hearth where you can share solar-farmed foods—it’s a gathering place built on the idea that good food and good company go hand in hand in building our brightest future. Every event will tell different stories of the land\, of the people\, and of the partnership between the two upon which our way of life depends. Every solar-farmed ingredient will be traced back to specific names and places\, and we’ll revel in the stories of the farmers and ranchers who produced it\, and how agrivoltaics has enabled them to succeed in the field. \n\n\n\nBy pairing solar energy with traditional agriculture\, these agrivoltaic producers are proving that our modern innovation and ancient heritage can share the same acre to yield powerful and tasty dual-harvests—and Solar Farm House is proud to bring their stories straight to the plate. \n\n\n\nBecause the venue is intentionally small in capacity\, each event at Solar Farm House is designed to feel intimate\, personal\, and immersive. At its heart\, Solar Farm House is about togetherness: bringing good folks to share a bountiful table of solar-grown food and growing stronger professional and personal ties. \n\n\n\nFull Supper tickets are all inclusive of all appetizers\, dinner\, drinks (beer\, wine & spirits)\, dessert and digestifs with doors opening at 6PM. \n\n\n\nAfter Party tickets include heavy hors d’oeuvres and drinks\, including beer\, wine and spirits after 9PM. \n\n\n\nExtremely limited seating available!  \n\n\n\nFor updates\, event questions\, and inquiries about future events\, please contact the Solar Farm Summit Team via email at admin@solarfarmsummit.com \n\n\n\nSolar Farm House 2014 W Warren BlvdChicago\, ILUnited States \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/solar-farm-supper-after-party-tickets-1997162330292 \n\n\n\n\nRSVP

SUMMARY:Empire State Supreme Ewe Show
DESCRIPTION:The Empire State Supreme Ewe Show is a new statewide event celebrating the best breeding ewes from across New York. Hosted by Orleans County Cornell Cooperative Extension\, the show will bring together champion animals from county fairs and livestock shows for a final competition at the end of the fair season. \n\n\n\nThe inaugural show will take place September 13\, 2026 at the Orleans County Fairgrounds in Albion\, New York\, in conjunction with the Orleans County Fall Open Class Sheep Show. This creates a full weekend opportunity for exhibitors\, with the Open Class Sheep Show on September 12 followed by the Empire State Supreme Ewe Show on September 13. \n\n\n\nCounty fairs and livestock shows across New York are invited to participate by sending their Supreme Champion Ewe to represent their show. Preference will be given to champions from Open Shows. If a fair does not hold an Open Show\, priority will shift to 4-H champions. \n\n\n\nChampions will compete for Supreme and Reserve Supreme honors\, with banners\, rotating trophies\, and cash prizes awarded. \n\n\n\nThis event is designed to celebrate the hard work of exhibitors\, highlight quality breeding stock\, and bring together the New York sheep community to cap off the fair season. \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://cce.cornell.edu/orleans/empire-state-supreme-ewe-show \n\n\n\n\nRSVP
