Belcher Farms operates multiple agricultural sites across the region, including Newlands Farm and Grange Farm, mixed-use sites with high year-round energy demands from livestock operations, machinery and tenant occupants. Like many farms, these were facing significant cost pressure due to the continued rise in energy prices amongst other economic burdens.
Renewables like solar give farmers the chance to cut costs, reduce emissions and become more resilient — it's a win-win for the farm and the planet.
