Many farms have grown over the years, but there might be hidden danger in some of that growth.
Corey Kuchka is an agricultural consultant for Wisconsin Public Service. Kuchta says their display at the Wisconsin Public Service Farm Show helps farmers know signs of trouble so they can take steps to make their farms safer. “We’ve got some good examples of how to properly wire and ground panels and make things safe on the farm, and we actually have a table of bad connections of where things have gone bad, of putting aluminum and copper wire together with split bolts or things that have shorted out, and things that have caused problems.”
Kuchta tells Brownfield as farms add new electrical circuits, new buildings, or change their power requirements, there’s a right way and a wrong way to upgrade electrical service.
