What is the USDA REAP Grant?
The Rural Energy for America Program, or better known as the USDA REAP Grant, provides grant funding to agricultural producers across the United States, to be used for making improvements to overall energy efficiency.
The goal of this program is to increase energy independence in the United States by generating a higher supply of clean energy in the private sector while simultaneously decreasing energy needs. Their hope is that over time, these efforts may reduce energy costs overall for agricultural producers throughout the country.
