USDA tightens access to solar grants for farmers
Original: The USDA just made it way harder for # farmers to get # solar | Canary Media https://www. canarymedia.com/articles/food-
The US Department of Agriculture has changed the rules for its REAP grant program, making it significantly harder for farmers to secure federal funding for solar installations, according to Canary Media. The move draws criticism from renewable energy advocates who say it undermines farm-based clean power, and it is being debated in energy and climate policy circles.
Why now: A federal policy change restricting solar funding for farmers has renewed concern over the USDA's support for renewable energy.
