Webinar on small wind turbines is March 9

    About two dozen leases for small wind turbines are planned for northeastern Colorado farms, and Colorado State University Extension is hosting an online webinar to educate the agricultural community on lease costs and benefits. While a 30 percent federal tax credit for small wind systems has just been extended, leases may make sense for some farms and not for others.
