community wind for Meeker and Kandiyohi counties
Steve and Conni Bergo are landowners and farmers in Meeker Co. Minnesota. Steve started farming in 1987 and currently farms 940 acres and sells seed. Conni currently serves as a Guardian ad Litem for the Eighth Judicial Court District in west central Minnesota and enjoys protecting the interests of children in court. Both Steve and Conni enjoy traveling around Minnesota exploring trails on their bikes and lakes and rivers in their canoe.
I've had a long involvement with conservation issues from my first job out of college as a conservation technician to our current project to develop renewable energy with a wind farm. Conni was the one who mentioned to me that we really seem to live in a windy place and we should make use of the wind energy we have. Partnering with National Wind to develop this resource has put legs to these dreams and we are well on the way to developing a community owned wind farm.
