Support for Farmers Interested in Solar

The Ag Energy NY team is expanding our programming to include information and support for farmers considering either renewables to power their farm operations or leasing their land for large-scale solar development, including opportunities for co-siting of agriculture and solar. And, just like with the current Ag Energy NY program, we will be developing resources and trainings for CCE educators so that they can better support their farmers, as well as connecting them with researchers at Cornell and other land-grant institutions working in this field.

Over the next few months, we will be updating the resources on this page, so please keep checking back. And let us know of anything specific you’re looking for — whether you’re a farmer, CCE educator, municipal official, or just a community member interested in learning more, we’ll be gathering resources to help inform you and guide your choices concerning solar and ag.  

For more information, please submit a request using our Information Request Form or contact Guillermo Metz, Solar & Ag Senior Resource Educator, at 607-272-2292, x185, or gm52@cornell.edu.
