Participate in this webinar to learn how a windmill works and facilitates providing water for livestock (as “Green” technology before green was more than just a color).
Note: Cost of a windmill uses 2012 as the basis for the costs. Note also the presenter's correction to feet instead of inches in the related slide(s).
Records indicate that a windmill was erected near Jamestown, Virginia in 1621 in an effort to harness the energy of the wind. Photographs and drawings of windmills across the U.S. bring to mind the classic image of a farmstead and remind us of the value of windmills as a durable, efficient mechanical system that uses wind to lift ground water to the surface. This webinar will present an overview of the mechanics and applications of windmills for a variety of uses, including livestock watering systems.
This webinar is sponsored by the USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center.
