Welcome to Banking on Solar. On Today’s episode: My chat with Iain Ward, Founder & CEO of Solar Agricultural Services, Inc. (SolAg)

In addition to owning his own 1st generation cranberry and livestock farm for 15 years, Iain Ward has helped farmers with planning, conservation, and diversification across the United States and Canada with two decades of experience working with farmers as a USDA-NRCS Technical Service Provider specializing in Conservation Planning. His work has been featured in NPR, Business Wire, Washington Post, and The New York Times.

As Founder and CEO of SolAg, Iain leads a dedicated team trusted by both farmers and developers to be the liaison that understands the economic, environmental, and social dynamics of family farms.

Iain’s representation of farmers in solar development for the last five years combined with 4 years of management and actual hands-on farming experience on some of the nation’s first agrivoltaic projects makes his team uniquely qualified to facilitate the development and implementation of agrivoltaic projects.

You will hear Iain's belief come shining through in this episode that when family farms disappear, the direct connection to our food source goes away, and small towns lose their rural character. Iain’s mission is to implement regenerative systems that revitalize farmland, farmers, and food.
