EPISODE 31 - Good Neighbours: "Farms, Turbines + Transmission Lines" Horsham VIC
Good Neighbours: Farms, Turbines + Transmission Lines Horsham VIC
Wotjobaluk, Jaadwa, Jadawadjali, Wergaia + Jupagulk Country (Western Victoria)
Meet Simon + Susan Tickner, food, fibre and wind farmers.
For 50 years, Simon + Susan’s farm has thrived under transmission lines.
This episode Farmer Simon shows how renewable energy infrastructure + agriculture businesses go together, like Scott + Charlene, or summer + cricket.
Simon says getting our energy from the sun + wind is a massive financial win for farmers.
Renewable energy sources, (like sun + wind) + essential infrastructure (like transmission lines)
can provide additional income through drought + floods.
According to Simon, like we need roads, airports and buildings, we need essential transmission lines.
Transmission lines get our energy from where it's being generated, to where it's being used.
Hosting turbines + transmission lines are just one more way Simon ensures the profitability and sustainability of his agriculture business now, and farming into the future.
