  The American Solar Grazing Association is pleased to announce that we’ve opened registration for our next “What to Expect When You’re Expecting Sheep” training workshop for solar companies!

  The training will provide you with a thorough overview of what sheep grazing on your solar sites will look like and how to create enduring farmer partnerships with potential graziers. You'll learn the standards and best practices that ASGA has established for solar grazing and have the opportunity to ask questions of experienced solar graziers.

  The one-day workshop is happening on July 15th at Lightsource bp’s Honeysuckle Solar near New Carlisle, IN and follows on the heels of our inaugural workshop in Texas.

  Solar asset managers, operations teams, and development teams will get a lot out of it, as well as sustainability, construction/engineering, and community engagement teams.
