The broad objective of the Michigan Ag Energy Program is to bring about a reduction of energy use on farms in Michigan while maintaining or improving overall productivity, safety and operator comfort.
The long term objective of such a program is to develop a comprehensive energy audit program that can be applied to all types of production farm operations in Michigan.
The program will only concentrate on stationary or farmstead energy use operations although the use of tractors and other mobile equipment for farmstead operations will not be ruled out.
