A press release was sent out and is attached here.

The Student Sustainable Farm began using high tunnels, which allow for year-round production. The farm will begin with salad greens, leaf lettuce, and braising greens.

In November 2009, funding was requested from the SSC to support the start up costs of the campus location.  Unfortunately, this funding was denied.

This afternoon, I verified with Jack Dempsey that he is still willing to fund a 900-HR extra-help employee for the first year of the new Campus Bike Project.  The employee will be paid $12.00 per hour for 900 hours, so the full cost is $10,800. - Morgan Johnston

As part of the ICECF 2009 Lighting Retrofit, 628 T-12 fixtures in the Turner Student Services Building were replaced with more energy-efficient T-8 fixtures. This switch will incur an Annual kWh Savings of 99,474 hours. The simple payback for this project is 2 years.

As part of the ICECF 2009 Lighting Retrofit, 1,071 T-12 fixtures in the Wohlers Hall were replaced with more energy-efficient T-8 fixtures. This switch will incur an Annual kWh Savings of 168,358 hours. The simple payback for this project is 0.83 years.

The Sustainable Campus Operations Committee (SCOC) was charged with developing the operational plans for a sustainable campus. The approach taken by the committee is aligned with campus strategic planning. The implications of the campus strategic plan and the sustainable campus plan are intimately connected, and they should be discussed in ways where their linkages are visible and understood.  Decision-making for sustainability needs integration with decision-making at all levels of university administration. In this spirit, the format of this interim report provides an overview of the preliminary goals, strategies and metrics for sustainable campus operations.

Is your farm sustainable?  How can you make your farm sustainable?  The Illinois Farm Sustainability Calculator can help you figure out these things out.  And it's pretty easy to use.  See the list of tabs on the bottom of your screen?  Navigate through them by using the grey buttons at the top of the sheets or by hitting ctrl+page down (cmd+page down on macs)  In each sheet, fill each white box with data from your farm.  Be sure to make a selection in all of the white drop-down boxes too.  If you don't know something, leave the default number or the default selection in place.  If your farm does not have ten separate fields, leave the extra field sheets unchanged.  Same goes for any extra ruminant, swine, and poultry sheets.
