Local Businesses Get Paid to Go Eco-friendly

Local Businesses Get Paid to Go Eco-friendly


From farmers to ranchers, agriculture of all sorts is our state’s bread and butter. And now, farmers and small ag business owners are getting a boost from the Rural Energy for America Program, or REAP, to fund renewable energy systems and improvements.

This grant program, through the USDA, helps cut costs and reduces the environmental strain of daily operations.

The program has already helped several North Dakota farms — including Benjamin Farms in Kenmare, which used the grant money to install a solar array.

The owner of the farm says he has seen 75% in energy savings over the last 9 months as a result of the funding.
