Solar heat proves practical for year round energy in swine farming. Clermont County extension agent Bob Sutton notes pigs need 15 to 75 percent of annual energy from solar systems. Simple preheating of winter ventilation air in attic spaces is viable. Tedlar coated clear fiberglass systems with storage cost more but offer storage benefits.
Bob Sutton discusses solar heat for new farrowing houses or nurseries and winter use for heating. Selection depends on location orientation costs fuel prices and economic conditions. U S and Ohio tax incentives can cut about 35 percent off costs. An alternate summer fall use for drying wheat and corn can help recoup the investment.
OSU extension specialist Carolyn McKinney notes inflation erodes buying power. Median family income rose 11.6 percent from 1978 to 1979, about $19,695, but inflation at 11.3 percent offset gains. Projections show a 10.5 percent annual rise could push a budget package to about $25,000 by autumn, prompting more dual earner strategies and prudent shopping. Families should research major purchases and use sale calendars to stretch resources.
