It’s a beautiful day for a ball game in Fannett Township, Pennsylvania!

“This is bigger than we ever thought it would be.” The American Solar Grazing Association is proud to present the trailer for our landmark documentary film on the transformative power of solar grazing, coming Fall 2024. The film tells the story of our incredible ASGA farmer members who are creating a new vision for farming and solar energy in America. Sign up for updates and learn more about the release, premiere, and screenings: https://lnkd.in/eWWc5TKW ASGA started this film project last year because we thought it was time for the world to hear the powerful stories of our farmers. We traveled to regions that represented the geographic diversity of solar graziers and filmed graziers at their homes and on solar sites. We hope their stories will inspire others to see the value of solar grazing and the importance of agriculture on solar sites. One of the big goals of the project is to raise the profile of solar grazing with a bigger audience, and support the growth of the industry. Please share this widely with others in our network! If you're not already a member, you can join or sponsor ASGA here: https://lnkd.in/e2VYdy-b Consider donating to ASGA’s educational work to support training sheep farmers: https://lnkd.in/evrnBurJ #SolarGrazingFilm #ASGAFilm #ASGA
