Fossil-fuel-free farming? Solar power, electric tractors, and the future

On-farm fuel use is a significant source of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.  But farmers are also leaders in decarbonization, investing in solar panels and finding other ways to reduce fossil fuel use.  Now, the first electric tractors are on the market, and hydrogen powered equipment is on the horizon.  Join NFUniversity for a session on on-farm energy use, emissions, alternative energy, low-emission farm equipment, and the possibility of fossil fuel free farming.  For 99% of the time that humans have practiced agriculture, it is been fossil fuel free.  How far in that direction can we go in the coming decade?<br /<br /Dan Woynillowicz (energy and environmental policy analyst) and Tony Neale (farmer, NFU member, and electric tractor and solar array owner) will look at the current situation regarding energy use and emissions and look ahead, to what’s possible.
