On January 20, 2012 the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) issued a news release entitled “USDA Invites Applications for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Projects.” The news release announced that the USDA is seeking applications for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. Funding for such projects is available through the 2008 Farm Bill.
The goal of this program is to help agricultural producers and rural small businesses to reduce energy costs and help meet the nation’s energy demands. The news release is available online at: http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome?contentid=2012/01/0019.xml&contentidonly=true. The Federal Register has additional information, which is available at: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-01-20/pdf/2012-755.pdf.
