Agricultural engineers see solar energy near the break-even point for pig farming due to year round heating needs in farrowing houses. Solar systems, installed in attic spaces with Tedlar FRP panels and storage, cost more yet offer usable heat when sun shines, a concept tested on a 16 inch south wall of solid concrete.
Bob Sutton urges builders to consider solar heating for new farrowing houses or nurseries noting that system selection hinges on location building orientation and costs. He says summer and fall use for crops like wheat and corn can help finance the system and outlines factors influencing design and projected fuel savings.
OSU extension specialist Carolyn McKinney says inflation will erode earnings and purchasing power through 1981. With 1979 average family income around $19,695 and 11.3 percent inflation, real gains disappeared. If budgets rise 10.5 percent annually, a typical package could reach $25,000 by autumn 1981. Families will need tighter budgeting and may seek do it yourself, bartering, or co op options, though results vary by situation.
