Description:

Electricity to power equipment like irrigation pumps can be one of farmers’ biggest costs. However, with careful planning and investment, it can also be a significant way to add back to improve the bottom line.

Jonathan Chislet, from Chislet Farms, shares how he accessed good energy advice through a strong relationship with a well-informed electrician.

For those not in that situation, a starting point may be an energy audit with a person like Mark Barber, principal energy consultant with Northmore Gordon who talks about what steps a farmer can take to identify energy opportunities in their business.
