Abstract: In meeting the increasing energy need in recent years; Environmental pollution caused by production with fossil energy sources has an important place today. Wind energy, one of the renewable energy sources; It is a clean, reliable, inexhaustible and low operating cost energy source. There is a great interest in clean and renewable energy sources in the world and Turkey. Wind energy is a renewable energy source that progresses day by day. With the use of renewable energy sources, which have a great potential in the agricultural sector, contribution can be made to agricultural activities. It is used in many fields such as wind energy, electricity generation, processing of agricultural products and agricultural water pumps. The aim of this study is to emphasize the increasing importance of wind energy, to evaluate the wind energy potential in Sinop Province and a study has been conducted on the active use of wind energy for farmers to pump agricultural water. Studies on wind energy, water pumping systems and wind data of the city were analyzed. The water pumping capacities depending on various wind forces that can be obtained by using these analyzes were calculated with Visual Basic 6.0 computer program.
