Small things can make a big difference! In 2004 we contacted our good friend Rich Dana who is with IRENEW (Iowa Renewable Energy Association) to help us add solar power to our manufacturing plant.  This small initiative has turned into one of Iowa’s largest Solar Power Projects ever, getting immediate support from the State of Iowa, Alliant Energy, and the Department of Natural Resources.  We are excited to be able to utilize the natural power of the sun and plan to keep you updated as to our progress.  Thanks for your support!
