Insulation works together with a well-sealed building envelope to reduce heat loss, improve temperature control and potentially lower heating costs.
The EFP identifies insulation, heating and ventilation as important areas to consider when looking at on-farm energy efficiency.

Meet some of Alberta’s bats! 🦇 From the tiny 5 g western small-footed myotis to the robust big brown bat, these fascinating insect eaters help keep insect populations in check. They may look unusual (and pretty cute!), but they deserve our respect! #BatWeek #AlbertaWildlife

Have you considered how soil testing can save you in the long run? Soil tests can help determine your soil needs, reducing fertilizer costs and saving you time and in some cases, passes in your field. Consider adding a soil testing regiment to your operation.

Did you know that leftover farm stalks and leaves are actually a superpower for the Earth? 🌾 Leaving this "crop residue" on the ground acts like a natural blanket. It recycles vital nutrients back into the soil, traps moisture, and can stop wind and water from eroding the soil.
👻 What's scarier than a haunted house?
Wondering where your personal information ends up online.
Rest assured with the EFP. 🎃 No tricks. Just trusted support for your farm.
