Energy Efficiency and Conservation

This area of the NRCS New York Technical Resources Web site provides information on topics such as alternative energy sources, increasing energy efficiency, energy conservation, and reducing the cost of energy used on the farm.

For information regarding USDA-NRCS assistance related to on-farm energy use and conservation, please visit the Energy Initiative Web page.

Save Energy Tool

Discover What Farm Energy Efficiency Can Do For You

The Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy, supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, is launching the SaveEnergy tool, a one-stop online resource designed to showcase the benefits of an on-farm energy audit while simplifying the process. The SaveEnergy tool is part of the U.S. Dairy Sustainability Commitment, an effort established by dairy producers to reduce environmental impact and create business value across the supply chain.

The SaveEnergy Web site includes an interactive map that instantly connects users to audit-related programs in their state.

Energy Consumption Awareness Tools

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has developed four Energy Tools designed to increase energy awareness in agriculture and to help farmers and ranchers identify where they can reduce their energy costs. Energy tools are available for:

• Animal Housing
• Irrigation
• Nitrogen
• Tillage
