Energy

Energy is an excellent rural development strategy, either to supplement agricultural operations, rural homesteads, or other rural businesses. Farms and rural businesses can reduce operational costs through installation of efficient equipment, and create new (and stable) income streams by installing renewable energy systems- each strategy increases profitability. The best place to find incentives and assistance is by visiting the Focus on Energy Ag Program page.
