The goal of this workshop is to provide area farm businesses with information on the opportunities and challenges encountered with both large scale and farm scale wind turbine installations on their farms.
Workshop speakers will be Jeff Rud, East River Electric; Steve Wegman, SD Wind Energy Association; and Mike Twedt, South Dakota State University, Wind Application Center. The workshop will close with the opportunity for farmers to ask the speakers questions, and this panel will also include Bob Sahr, attorney, and former PUC Commissioner.
The evening begins at 5:30 PM, with a sandwich and salad buffet dinner at Nicky’s provided at a cost of $5 per person.
