For 140 years and 5 generations the Goyings family has raised grain on this NW Ohio, Farm. A solar array installed with help from a Rural Development REAP grant generates clean energy for 100% of the farm's total energy used, cutting costs and ensuring a future for the next generation.
Today, in honor of Earth Day 2024, Agriculture Deputy Secretary Xochitl Torres Small announced that Dept. of Agriculture is funding more than 700 clean energy projects to lower energy bills, expand access to domestic biofuels and create jobs and new market opportunities: usda.gov/media/press-re…
