FARMERS for Climate Action is delivering a series of on-farm renewables workshops for farmers across northern Victoria this week.
One of these workshops is being held in Euroa tomorrow (Thursday, October 5) from, 4pm at the Seven Creeks Hotel.
The workshops will explore the benefits renewable energy, storage and electrification brings to farm businesses and communities.
Farmers will hear from experts in electrification and renewables, and other farmers who have made the switch to cheaper, cleaner energy.
Farmers for Climate Action CEO Natalie Collard said a recent survey by Farmers for Climate action clearly shows participating farmers overwhelmingly support Australia’s shift to more renewable energy in the energy grid.

“Climate change is making farming harder, but primary producers are keen to protect their business and the future of farming families in our regions.
“Embracing renewable energy and storage solutions is one thing farmers can do to lower power bills and increase their resilience in the face of an unpredictable climate,” said Ms Collard.
The events are free to any farmer or community member.
