Pork producers need innovations that address both environmental and energy concerns while remaining competitive in the global market. A growing number of farmers across the United States are dealing with financial difficulties stemming from export trade issues and now the COVID-19 pandemic. Ideal Energy works to create solutions for farming operations that slash energy costs, cut carbon footprints, and help build resiliency in the farm’s operations.

The 73.44 solar installation at H&M Swine covers nearly 75% of the family pork production’s energy needs and will pay for itself in 4 years. This is a stellar example of how solar energy can help farming operations become more stable and profitable with predictable, low energy costs.
