Farm Energy Innovation Expo
NSW Farmers’ Association will be hosting a Farm Energy Expo at the Australian National Field Days in Borenore, NSW, on 23-25 October 2014. The expo will run all three days and will give farmers the opportunity to meet with energy experts and engineers, attend presentations to ask questions about their own properties and energy issues.
Sessions will cover topics including energy efficiency in broad acre farming and intensive farming, farm vehicle efficiency and renewable energy opportunities.
Sessions will include personal accounts by farmers who have participated in farm energy pilots and have implemented energy efficiency measures.
See the table below for the scheduled session times and topics. Note however, that energy experts will be available throughout the day. Farmers are encouraged to bring their energy bills and schedule a consultation to investigate any opportunities to reduce their costs. Information papers and case study materials will also be available as handouts.
