Running gas boilers for these continuous tasks may not be ideal when more efficient electric technologies are readily available. </p> </div> </div></div><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-col-5 span-5 float float-right" data-block-type="5" id="block-438def5c6c1dc5d45d03"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class=" image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-site-default individual-animation-site-default individual-text-animation-site-default " data-test="image-block-inline-outer-wrapper" > <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " style="max-width:700px;" > <div class="image-block-wrapper" data-animation-role="image" > <div class="sqs-image-shape-container-element " style=" position: relative; padding-bottom:70%; overflow: hidden;-webkit-mask-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(white, black); " > <img data-stretch="false" data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df416f523fae376f17973f3/d0211a54-7d14-4f85-9215-44b7b55ae5f1/farm-use-led-lights-reasonably.+mecreeled.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df416f523fae376f17973f3/d0211a54-7d14-4f85-9215-44b7b55ae5f1/farm-use-led-lights-reasonably.+mecreeled.jpg" data-image-dimensions="700x490" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="" data-load="false" elementtiming="system-image-block" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df416f523fae376f17973f3/d0211a54-7d14-4f85-9215-44b7b55ae5f1/farm-use-led-lights-reasonably.+mecreeled.jpg" width="700" height="490" alt="" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 100vw" style="display:block;object-fit: cover; width: 100%; height: 100%; object-position: 50% 50%" onload="this.classList.add("loaded")" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df416f523fae376f17973f3/d0211a54-7d14-4f85-9215-44b7b55ae5f1/farm-use-led-lights-reasonably.+mecreeled.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df416f523fae376f17973f3/d0211a54-7d14-4f85-9215-44b7b55ae5f1/farm-use-led-lights-reasonably.+mecreeled.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df416f523fae376f17973f3/d0211a54-7d14-4f85-9215-44b7b55ae5f1/farm-use-led-lights-reasonably.+mecreeled.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df416f523fae376f17973f3/d0211a54-7d14-4f85-9215-44b7b55ae5f1/farm-use-led-lights-reasonably.+mecreeled.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df416f523fae376f17973f3/d0211a54-7d14-4f85-9215-44b7b55ae5f1/farm-use-led-lights-reasonably.+mecreeled.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df416f523fae376f17973f3/d0211a54-7d14-4f85-9215-44b7b55ae5f1/farm-use-led-lights-reasonably.+mecreeled.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df416f523fae376f17973f3/d0211a54-7d14-4f85-9215-44b7b55ae5f1/farm-use-led-lights-reasonably.+mecreeled.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> </div> </div> <figcaption class="image-caption-wrapper"> <div class="image-caption"><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Hen House</p></div> </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div></div><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html sqs-background-enabled" data-block-type="2" data-border-radii="{"topLeft":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"topRight":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"bottomLeft":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"bottomRight":{"unit":"px","value":0.0}}" id="block-82cdeb876c8c6886309d"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class="sqs-html-content"> <p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Leveraging High-Efficiency LED Lighting for Cost-Effective Investments in Electrification</strong></p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">One of the simplest and easiest energy improvements a farm can make is a lighting retrofit. While lighting is not a true example of electrification—older bulbs and fixtures also require electricity--it can be a significant source of savings for customers and a familiar source of leverage to unlock more sophisticated beneficial electrification projects. </p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Because onsite activities range throughout the day, including early mornings and late nights, the need for lighting is key — and not just in human-occupied spaces. Hen houses, for instance, are almost constantly lit. Modern LED bulbs have improved the quality of light and the wavelength available for various sites, which is an important aspect of raising animals. A modest adjustment from incandescent or fluorescent lighting systems to modern LED fixtures can be an impactful starter project for a farm considering electrification. </p> </div> <style> #block-82cdeb876c8c6886309d { box-sizing: border-box;

Many agricultural utility customers seeking to lower volatile liquid fuel expenses are considering the advancements of electric motors for irrigation, vehicles, specialized electric boilers and dryers, and more. </p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">A University of Nebraska study on irrigation electrification found that on a 130-acre farm, electric irrigation at a rate of $0.10/kWh had cost parity with a diesel system with fuel costs at $2.05/gallon. For every $0.25/gallon increase of diesel, the farmer would need to pay an additional $1,000 to irrigate their 130 acres. As electricity rates have increased to roughly $0.12/kWh and diesel fuel towards $3.00 / gallon, the cost savings increase further for electrification. Since the release of this study, the rise in diesel costs has far outpaced electricity rates, underscoring the risk exposure of farmers to volatile fossil fuel when relying on diesel- and gasoline-powered equipment. </p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </section> <section data-test="page-section" data-section-theme="" class='page-section layout-engine-section background-width--full-bleed section-height--small content-width--wide horizontal-alignment--center vertical-alignment--middle ' data-section-id="658ef20d7286626f7b1227dc" data-controller="SectionWrapperController" data-current-styles="{ "imageOverlayOpacity": 0.15, "backgroundWidth": "background-width--full-bleed", "sectionHeight": "section-height--small", "customSectionHeight": 10, "horizontalAlignment": "horizontal-alignment--center", "verticalAlignment": "vertical-alignment--middle", "contentWidth": "content-width--wide", "customContentWidth": 50, "backgroundColor": "", "sectionTheme": "", "sectionAnimation": "none", "backgroundMode": "image" }" data-current-context="{ "video": { "playbackSpeed": 0.5, "filter": 1, "filterStrength": 0, "zoom": 0, "videoSourceProvider": "none" }, "backgroundImageId": null, "backgroundMediaEffect": null, "divider": null, "typeName": "page" }" data-animation="none" > <div class="section-border" > <div class="section-background"> </div> </div> <div class='content-wrapper' style=' ' > <div class="content" > <div class="sqs-layout sqs-grid-12 columns-12" data-type="page-section" id="page-section-658ef20d7286626f7b1227dc"><div class="row sqs-row"><div class="col sqs-col-12 span-12"><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-col-1 span-1 float float-left" data-block-type="5" id="block-5080b6436a6343ada2ac"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class=" image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-site-default individual-animation-site-default individual-text-animation-site-default " data-test="image-block-inline-outer-wrapper" > <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " style="max-width:605px;" > <div class="image-block-wrapper" data-animation-role="image" > <div class="sqs-image-shape-container-element " style=" position: relative;

Electric motors are generally more reliable than diesel engines, increasing uptime and peace of mind. Electric equipment also cuts out exhaust and reduces heat, making for more pleasant days in the field. Improved reliability, health, and comfort can be hard to quantify — but these can be among the most important beneficial electrification value-adds for the customer. </p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Farming is evolving into a computer- and data-driven process, and electric equipment is a better fit for this new approach. Farmers can now monitor the dynamic flow of harvesting and planning information in real-time and project the results of their planning with intelligent farm system software. Farmers are better equipped than ever to keep track of the various inputs and schedules on their farms, including fertilization, seeding schedules, crop yields, and crop rotation. The ability to integrate smarter and more useful software technologies into electric equipment improves operational efficiency.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </section> <section data-test="page-section" data-section-theme="dark" class='page-section layout-engine-section background-width--full-bleed section-height--small content-width--wide horizontal-alignment--center vertical-alignment--middle dark' data-section-id="658ef20d7286626f7b1227de" data-controller="SectionWrapperController" data-current-styles="{ "imageOverlayOpacity": 0.15, "backgroundWidth": "background-width--full-bleed", "sectionHeight": "section-height--small", "customSectionHeight": 10, "horizontalAlignment": "horizontal-alignment--center", "verticalAlignment": "vertical-alignment--middle", "contentWidth": "content-width--wide", "customContentWidth": 50, "backgroundColor": "", "sectionTheme": "dark", "sectionAnimation": "none", "backgroundMode": "image" }" data-current-context="{ "video": { "playbackSpeed": 0.5, "filter": 1, "filterStrength": 0, "zoom": 0, "videoSourceProvider": "none" }, "backgroundImageId": null, "backgroundMediaEffect": { "type": "none" }, "divider": { "enabled": false }, "typeName": "page" }" data-animation="none" > <div class="section-border" > <div class="section-background"> </div> </div> <div class='content-wrapper' style=' ' > <div class="content" > <div class="sqs-layout sqs-grid-12 columns-12" data-type="page-section" id="page-section-658ef20d7286626f7b1227de"><div class="row sqs-row"><div class="col sqs-col-12 span-12"><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-col-1 span-1 float float-left" data-block-type="5" id="block-ca8bfce23aa9b4ee40f9"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class=" image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-hidden design-layout-inline combination-animation-site-default individual-animation-site-default individual-text-animation-site-default " data-test="image-block-inline-outer-wrapper" > <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " style="max-width:602px;" > <div class="image-block-wrapper" data-animation-role="image" > <div class="sqs-image-shape-container-element " style=" position: relative;
