Summary:

In the spring of 1979, the University of Missouri Agricultural Engineering Department, USDA, USDOE, and eleven farmers initiated a project to demonstrate the use of solar energy in livestock buildings in Missouri.
One of these systems was built on the Leo Himmelberg farm near Glasgow in central Missouri. The system was completed in March 1980 and has operated continuously since. The system was designed to collect and store solar energy for use in preheating ventilation air in a nursery building.
