Join Whatcom Conservation District, E-Farms, and Puget Sound Energy for a hands-on field day on electric farm equipment and on-farm energy savings.

This event is geared toward commercial operations:

• Try out electric tractors, UTVs, and pickup trucks.

• Learn about incentives and grants for going electric.

• Hear first steps and considerations for pairing electric equipment with solar and battery storage.

The day will include coffee and donuts with short talks, a mid-day ride-and-drive with info booths, and a Q&A over provided lunch.

You’ll hear from speakers from Spark Northwest, Puget Sound Energy, Cascadia Renewables, and E-Farms on topics like:

• REAP grants reopening

• NRCS support for switching to electric (practice 372)

• PSE incentives for agricultural electrification

We’ll also touch on how batteries, bidirectional trucks, and smart controls might help farms store power, reduce peak costs, and add a bit more resilience during outages —framed around what works (and what doesn’t) on real farms.

Ride and drive opportunities will be available for:

• Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic Ultimate Electric Utility Vehicle (A premium electric UTV lots of power and torque.)

• Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Pickup Truck (An all-electric version of America’s top-selling vehicle in the U.S. Comes with extended range and heavy tow package, and bidirectional charging.)

• Monarch MK-V Electric Tractor (40-70hp tractor with up to 14 hours of runtime. Comes with bi-directional charging.)
