Take Control of Your Energy Use—Compare, Benchmark, and Improve.
FEAT is EnSave’s exclusive benchmarking system built from thousands of farm energy assessments (also known as farm energy audits).
A farmer can call EnSave for a no-cost benchmarking report that compares their energy use to that of their peer operations and generates a one-page performance summary showing how their farm stacks up.
This quick snapshot helps producers understand where they stand and what actions they can take to save money and improve efficiency.
How it Works
The performance report is divided into three categories, and depending on your farm’s energy use, it provides one of the following:
EXCELLENT
Your farm is performing at top efficiency. Keep up the great work! Stay aware that future changes to your operation can affect energy use. Contact EnSave if you’re planning upgrades or new equipment.
GOOD
You’re doing well, but there’s room to improve. Discover where you can reduce costs and boost efficiency with an energy assessment or technical assistance report from EnSave.
FAIR
Your energy costs are higher than they should be. You’re likely losing money and productivity. An energy assessment can pinpoint where the waste is and help you get back on track.
Who should get a farm energy audit?
Dairy, poultry, swine, and beef operations
Greenhouse and other ag. facilities
Crop and irrigation farms
Maple and specialty crop producers
