The Iowa Farmers Union, joined by a solar advocacy group, has filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Agriculture over changes to a renewable energy funding program. The suit challenges recent adjustments to how the department allocates clean energy grants and loans to farmers, a program widely used to install solar and other renewable systems on farms. Outlets across Iowa and nationally are covering the case, which raises questions about the future of federal support for on-farm renewable energy projects.
