The West Central Research and Outreach Center at Morris, Minnesota, has solar panels installed above a pasture ground. “The system belongs to our sister campus, University of Minnesota-Morris and it’s a good collaboration because they can generate power for their campus and then we get shade for our pasture and this is a new area of research,” said Mike Reese, director of operations, WCROC. A dedication ceremony will be held Friday at the Agrivoltaic Field behind the city water treatment facility.
