Young child killed in
farm ing accident
Starvation Farms recently completed a 4.2kw solar project.
The project was built on top of a shop that was built in the
1920s. It was built with the help of J & G Services of Heppner,
ShellCo Electric of Hermiston and Syncro Solar of Portland.
The power from the solar panels will provide about 70% of the
power used on an annual basis. When no power is needed it
will go back into the grid with an electric meter that measures
net use for the year. - Contributed Photo
