The Center for Rural Affairs is planning an Energy Fair at the Hartington, Nebraska, Fairgrounds. Workshops and demonstrations are planned for a wide range of topics including energy conservation, small-scale wind turbines, Nebraska’s C-BED Project (community-owned wind energy), solar collectors, photo voltaics, bio-fuels, methane, composting, grass-fed beef and hogs, crop rotations, and the farm bill’s energy title.

A number of presenters participated in the Center’s Small Farm Energy Project (see 35 Years of Energy & Conservation article). We’re still working on dates, so keep your eyes out for more information. You can also contact Martin Kleinschmit at the Center’s Hartington office, 402.254.6893 or email martink@cfra.org to find out more.
