Energy Efficient Lights Help Everyone
News from the Bent Farm - Allen & Jacqueline Bent Lawrencetown, NS
Here at the Bent Farm, we are so excited for the new digs we’re developing for our cows. We’ve recently installed new, more energy efficient lighting in our barn which not only means energy savings for us, but a better environment for our cows. This improved lighting has already had overwhelmingly positive effects on the cows. Our cows not only seem more at ease in these new conditions, but individual production has increased almost a litre per day. We don’t know who’s happier; us or the cows!
