Lamb Board Returns to Solar Farm Summit

The American Lamb Board cosponsored an exhibit with the American Sheep Industry Association and the American Solar Grazing Association during the 2025 Solar Farm Summit in Chicago. The Solar Farm Summit is a conference and expo focused on dual-use projects connecting solar power and agricultural production. ALB, along with ASI and ASGA, participated with over 70 exhibitors at this event, which aims to create dual-use land opportunities by combining solar power development with agricultural production – or agrivoltaics. “Exhibiting at the Solar Farm Summit is an excellent opportunity for the sheep industry to explore new grazing options that are profitable for producers,” said ALB Chairman Jeff Ebert. “In addition, it was great to see multiple organizations come together to represent the interests of sheep producers from across the country.” ALB also shared literature showcasing land stewardship provided by shepherds and their families who graze pastures to enhance landscapes and improve habitat.
