Local teachers toured the Grand Ridge Wind Energy Center on the SAI II Tour.

Summer Ag Institute II
In August fifteen local teachers participated in a new 4-day KCFB Ag Literacy tour exploring renewable energy and how it relates to agriculture. Teachers visited a number of sites from Pearl City to Aurora including an 100% farmer owned ethanol production facility, a wind energy farm and a dairy farm that uses a methane digester to generate electricity.
