As the Farmers Screen program grows, FCA is developing other programs that will build upon and enhance screen objectives, yet at the same time achieve other social and economic goals. Using the Farmers Screen as a guide, and lessons learned from the vast network of relationships with organizations, communities and agencies, FCA realized how eager people are for solutions like the Farmers Screen, that address other energy and water challenges facing rural communities throughout the Northwest.
