USDA announces more than $24 million in REAP funds for rural Wisconsin businesses
Thirteen rural businesses in Wisconsin have been awarded more than $24 million from the USDA’s Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) to become more energy efficient.
The largest project, a $22.6 million loan, will support the development of a dairy manure anaerobic digester in Brown County which will convert methane to renewable gas.
The other remaining grants will support several solar arrays and grain drying systems.
Since January 2021, USDA has invested over $2.3 billion through REAP, including nearly $67 million in Wisconsin.
