USDA Bars Solar and Wind on Cropland From Rural Energy Program
Original: USDA Excludes Solar and Wind on Cropland From Its Rural Energy Program
The US Department of Agriculture has excluded solar and wind projects located on cropland from eligibility under its rural energy program. The decision means farmers seeking federal support to develop renewable energy on farmland will no longer qualify for that assistance. The move is drawing attention amid ongoing debate over balancing food production with renewable energy expansion in rural America.
Why now: The policy shift affects farmers and renewable energy developers and fuels debate over farmland use for clean energy.
