Agricultural business expenses continue to rise as inflation and supply challenges impact the US economy. This has been especially hard on farmers and growers in California who face water fluctuations during one of the worst droughts on record. Investing in variable frequency drives (VFDs) that use energy and water more efficiently can lessen the impact of rising utility costs, protect farming equipment, and help mitigate crop and soil damage due to drought.

How do variable frequency drives help farmers and growers conserve water?

• VFDs can help extend the lifespan of your irrigation system
• VFDs can help prevent water hammer
• VFDs conserve water and reduce runoff

The Agriculture Energy Savings Action Plan (AESAP) connects qualifying farmers, cultivators, brewers, and other agricultural business owners in California with cash incentives and zero-interest loans to help complete projects that reduce energy usage and improve operations. Incentives are available for the purchase and installation of VFDs, making them more accessible than ever to operations like yours.
