Rural Development makes loan guarantees, and grants to
farmers and ranchers (agricultural producers) or rural small businesses to
purchase renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements.
The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Act) established
the Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvements Program
under Title IX, Section 9006. This program will help farmers, ranchers, and
rural small businesses to reduce energy costs and consumption. |
