Silicon Ranch is honored to share that our Houston Solar Project has been awarded the North American Agrivoltaics Award for "Solar Ranch of the Year" at the 2024 Solar Farm Summit. This award is a testament to the industry-leading work of Loran Shallenberger, Jim Malooley, and the entire team of in-house #RegenerativeEnergy shepherds that have gone above and beyond to make our Houston Solar Project a nationally recognized hub of agrivoltaics innovation and the genetic improvement of American sheep. We're grateful to our partners and neighbors in Houston County, Georgia, for their warm welcome and tireless support of this project, which reflects the ambition of local community leaders to carry Houston County's rich agricultural heritage into the future. The work we're doing at Houston Solar is only just beginning. Our Regenerative Energy® shepherds are making use of the new 26,000 square foot lambing barn onsite to breed and track our genetic improvement flock of sheep. This ambitious initiative aims to foster a genetic strain of sheep uniquely suited to the climate and ecology of our home region in the Southeast, which has historically been hostile to the species. Over the past few weeks, our shepherds have expanded their work to our DeSoto Solar Ranch, where they will seek to replicate their previous successes.

It was a pleasure to welcome Shelby and her colleagues from Tennessee Farm Bureau to our McKellar Solar Ranch in Jackson. We appreciate every opportunity we get to share the great work of our #RegenerativeEnergy agrivoltaics team with neighboring organizations like Farm Bureau, and it's great to see the smiles that the flock of sheep at McKellar put on the faces of our visitors. #MakingSolarDoMore

Took a field trip this week to Silicon Ranch Corporation’s Jackson site. Thankful for their team’s hospitality in letting us ask questions and check out a completed project in action. This particular facility utilizes sheep grazing under panels to keep vegetation manageable. Not to mention it allows the company to partner with local farmers who are experts at livestock management. There’s great opportunity with the solar industry, but in order to make sure agriculture is still front of mind in Tennessee keeping and creating relationships such as these are critical. Perhaps my favorite employees on site were the four legged ones - but who can blame me when they’re this cute?

Silicon Ranch was pleased to sponsor a recent Nashville Sounds Baseball Club home game in support of Special Olympics Tennessee. It was great to see so many of our colleagues in attendance at the tailgate fundraiser, and we're looking forward to supporting Special Olympics Tennessee further this summer by participating in the #MusicCityCorporateChallenge.

Our Houston Solar Project is a FINALIST for the 2024 North American Agrivoltaics Solar Ranch of the Year Award! The Houston Solar Project is a direct result of our long-term approach to solar and our commitment as a community member and land steward, all under our model of ownership for the long haul. This project aims to redress the two biggest challenges to grazing sheep on solar farms in the Southeast: a scarcity of sheep and shepherds, and the susceptibility of American sheep to Southeastern parasites. With the largest Katahdin flock enrolled in the National Sheep Improvement Program, our efforts at Houston are not only helping us grow our own flock; they are also providing economically important information to the U.S. sheep industry to improve the genetics and production of the national flock.

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, a date that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. On this day, in 1865, the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation was achieved by the Union Army and slavery was brought to an end in the former Confederate states. #Juneteenth2024

It was great to hear from our own Rob Riley at the Renewable Energy Wildlife Institute (REWI) Southeast Solar Power and Wildlife / Natural Resources Workshop in Atlanta last week. During the panel, Rob and his industry peers explored the opportunities and challenges for solar build-out while conserving wildlife in Silicon Ranch's home region, the Southeast. Thanks to Southern Company, Georgia Power Company, and REWI for hosting these important conversations. #MakingSolarDoMore

Great conversation earlier this week as our Chief Technology Officer, Nick de Vries, discussed strategies to confront global and domestic supply chain constraints with industry peers at the Wood Mackenzie Solar Energy and Storage Summit. Domestic manufacturing capacity, workforce development, and the continuing effects of the IRA on the solar energy sector were all topics of discussion, and we're looking forward to hearing more of Nick's contributions to these important conversations going forward. You can listen to Nick speaking about these subjects with our Chairman and co-founder Matt Kisber on the inaugural episode of #SiliconRanchRadio's series on domestic manufacturing here: https://lnkd.in/eSmqxRwz... #MakingSolarDoMore
