Farmer-focused renewable energy coalition focusing on Indiana growers’ property rights and energy freedom
Hoosier farmers and rural advocates are invited to join the new coalition
INDIANAPOLIS, IN, May 8, 2020–The Indiana Agriculture Coalition for Renewable Energy (IN-ACRE) today announced its formation across the state following two informational conference calls in March and April.
The conference calls convened farmers, landowners, renewable energy developers, non-profits, and corporations to discuss knowledge and resource gaps related to the intersection of renewable energy and agriculture in Indiana.
“This coalition represents and supports Hoosier farmers and rural landowners who support clean energy projects and technology,” said founding member Don Villwock. “It’s great to have an organization that will prioritize property rights and the family farms that are the backbone of our rural economy.”
Across the state and nation, as energy prices climb, farmers are turning more and more to clean energy—from efficient light bulbs, to energy-efficient grain dryers, to solar panels and wind energy on their land. These improvements can open new income streams while simultaneously improving efficiency and profitability for farms of all sizes. Renewable energy projects help generate energy on-farm to efficiently reduce our dependence on foreign oil, providing greater local and national energy security.
IN-ACRE is actively seeking input from non-profits, the renewable energy industry, and agribusinesses who support a clean energy future for Indiana to provide informational blog posts, videos, photos, and digital content related to Hoosier agriculture and renewable energy.
Visit www.inacre.org, or email info@inacre.org to sign up for the coalition. There’s no charge for membership.
About IN-ACRE: The Indiana Agriculture Coalition for Renewable Energy (IN-ACRE) is a grassroots coalition of farmers, growers, and landowners in Indiana focusing supporting new renewable energy initiatives and educating legislators, members, and the general public on renewable energy.
