Utility, farmer beat stray voltage woes
Dave Vogel moved to a dairy farm near the Iowa Lafay ette line and faced stray voltage like his father did. A WP&L rep and consultant installed an equipotential plane in the barn to even out electrical potential and prevent shocks to cows and handlers. The system costs about 3,000 per 60 stalls, with utilities contributing some and labor often lowering total price.
