As an aside to the construction of our agrivoltaic teaching array at the Potts Mountain Biological Field Station, we're using the transmission line right-of-way as a control area to examine soil conditioning efforts prior to installation of the panels. We hope to demonstrate that preconditioning efforts attenuate soil compaction during photovoltaic construction. In this particular control area quadrat, we're using a very low cost method of sowing wild oats. Not sure how the compaction reduction efforts will turn out, but the turkeys (mostly toms) are certainly fond of the oat treatment plots.

For the past five years, we here at the ACC have provided complimentary ev charging in front of our office in downtown Jasper, Georgia.

ACC CEO Robert D. Keller, Ph.D. presents a $10,000 donation check to Jasper Police Chief Matt Dawkins to complete outfitting all the city police officers with new body armor.

Each box of Wolfscratch Firewood includes a natural burlap bag filled with sustainably harvested pine cones and matches for starting your fire. Our solar-kiln dried wood starts easily because it's dried naturally.
