GREAT LAKES EXPO NEWS
THERE'S A LOT OF POTENTIAL WITH NEW
TECHNOLOGY, BUT IT IS STILL EARLY TO KNOW
WHICH WILL BE THE MOST USEFUL FOR GROWERS
WITHOUT OVERLOADING THEM WITH DATA.

corn, broccoli, tobacco and more.
During the Great Lakes EXPO, Czajkowski will give
a session on his experience of growing crops under
solar panels, specifically dual-use agri-voltaic solar.
" There is a place for (solar panels) on many
farms in certain locations. Not every location
works, you need 3-phase power lines with available
capacity nearby and you need to be close to a power
substation, " Czajkowski said. " We put ours on a field
with very little topsoil where we rarely got good
crops. Now, we have electric well points and can get
better productions. "
The advancement of technology has changed crop
production for farmers and growers across the
world. Utilizing new technologies in the field can
save labor costs, improve net earnings and increase
yields, according to Czajkowski.
" I see solar and other new opportunities like solar
as good changes for the future with technology.
Wonderful work is being done on clean energy
and for farms to be a part of that is really good, "
Czajkowski said. " In 20 years, the world might be
completely different, but farming will still be there
and planning for that will always be important. "

will be Dec. 5-7 at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids,
Michigan.
