The WSU Energy Program offers information, education and tools to help reduce energy use in the agriculture sector. Farmers and ranchers use energy directly to operate machinery or equipment and to heat, cool, light and ventilate buildings. They also use energy indirectly through fertilizers and other products that are integral to production or processing.
