Agricultural Rebates

Save Energy and Money on Your Farm with Rebates

Looking for ways to reduce energy costs on your farm? Your electric cooperative offers a variety of rebates to help you upgrade to energy-efficient equipment!

Here are some of the ways you can save:

• Agricultural Audit: Get a professional energy assessment of your farm to identify energy-saving opportunities. We can connect you with experts who will conduct a site visit and provide a detailed report with recommendations for improvements. You may even qualify for additional rebates if you implement the suggested upgrades!
• Engine Block Heater Timers: Reduce energy waste by installing a timer on your engine block heater. This convenient device ensures your engine is warm and ready to start without running the heater all night long.
• Hog Farrowing Heated Mats: Improve piglet comfort and reduce energy consumption with heated mats. These mats provide direct heat to the piglets, minimizing heat loss to the surrounding air. Rebates are available for both new and existing barns.
• Irrigation VFDs: Optimize your irrigation system with a variable frequency drive (VFD). VFDs adjust motor speed based on water table levels, saving energy and money.
• Livestock Waterers: Keep your animals hydrated all winter with energy-efficient or energy-free waterers. These insulated waterers use minimal electricity or even ground source water to prevent freezing.
• LED Lighting: Increase production and save on energy costs with LED lighting. Extended daylight hours can boost milk production, improve livestock growth, and enhance poultry performance.
• Ventilation Fans: Maintain optimal air quality in your barns with energy-efficient ventilation fans. Automated controls adjust fan speeds based on weather conditions, reducing energy consumption.
