Many of the uncertainties faced by farmers; drought, storms, and disease, are unique to agriculture. But the volatile energy landscape forces farms to strive for energy independence and control costs as well. Although the Northwind 100 can't help farmers control the weather, this state of the art turbines can harness the wind and take the unpredictability out of your electrical costs. With a Northwind 100 wind turbine, you can safeguard your agricultural or dairy operations against rising utility bills and make your farm operations leaner and more profitable businesses.

   Farms win when they implement wind power at their own site.

• Lower overhead: See your electrical costs drop the second your blades start spinning. These savings coupled with state or federal incentive programs can offset your capital costs in several years, allowing you to put more of your profits back onto your farm.
• Energy independence: Your farm may produce beef or corn; now you can also produce your own electricity and take control of your energy future. In the event that you create more power than you need, you may be able to sell it back to the utility (check your state's net metering laws).
• The "greening" of business: Farms that use wind power in their daily operations are valued by wholesalers who sell their products to discerning consumers who put a premium on sustainable and environmentally friendly business practices.
• Tax advantages: Between the federal investment tax credit and grant program and the rules for claiming depreciation on wind turbines, an investment in wind power today translates to real benefits that farmers can apply to the bottom line and balance operating budgets.
• Stable cost of power: You'll know what your wind-powered electricity costs will be for 20 years or more so you can safeguard your operational budget against the volatile and increasing costs of energy.
