Thank you A&A Acres farms!
Behind the scenes at every farm is a team of contractors that keep our infrastructure running. They don’t always get the recognition they deserve! 🧑🔧
This week our friends at Amite Pump & Well / Dale Mixon - Owner replaced our well tank, and upgraded our submersible pump system ahead of a new season. 💧
As you can imagine, we use a LOT of water processing thousands of birds and filling tanks. However, water and energy conservation is important to us. To do this as sustainably and efficiently as possible, we decided to upgrade the pump to a 3” Grundfos, effectively reducing our energy consumption up to 50%. This system is also efficient with our backup generator system with a low pull, and can take power from a future solar or wind system too.
The smaller the impact, and shorter the supply chain, the more sustainable our farm can be for the environment. We aren’t just producing chicken and eggs good for you, we want to be good to the planet we all share, too. 🌎 🐓
