    From a 100-Year-Old Farmhouse to Electric Tractors: Our Rural Energy Story

    Welcome to the very first episode of the Rural-E Podcast — where rural energy, innovation, and efficiency meet the real stories of the people making it happen. Hosts Robert Wallace, a certified energy manager with 16+ years in the rural energy space, and co-host Michael Kluz sit down to share how they got here and where they're headed. From a 100-year-old farmhouse in Dufur, Oregon, they dig into the work that rarely gets told: helping farmers, ranchers, and rural small businesses become more efficient, more resilient, and ready for what's next. In this episode: How a one-year "farm energy" job turned into a 16-year mission Michael's wild first day on the job — a road trip to Montana to show off an electric tractor What USDA REAP grants are and how they fund solar, irrigation, and energy efficiency projects "Fund stacking" — how rural producers combine grants and utility dollars to get projects across the finish line Agrivoltaics, electric farm equipment, and the energy-water nexus Why rural communities are quietly at the forefront of emerging energy technology Whether you're a farmer, a rural business owner, or just curious about the future of energy, Rural-E is here to share the stories, the innovation, and the lessons from the field. #RuralEnergy #Agrivoltaics #FarmInnovation #RenewableEnergy #ElectricTractor #USDA #EnergyEfficiency #RuralAmerica #SustainableFarming #CleanEnergy
