Small
Farm Energy Demo Grants
Posted 17 March
2010
Iowa farmers with
small to midsize operations may apply for grants to demonstrate energy
efficiency and conservation measures or how they are using renewable
energy from their farm to meet energy needs. This opportunity is from
the Farm Energy Working Group of the Leopold Center for Sustainable
Agriculture, facilitated by the UNI Center for Energy &
Environmental Education (CEEE) and the National Center for Appropriate
Technology (NCAT).
"Adopting technologies using on-farm resources for small and mid-sized
farms offers many ways for farmers to reduce their energy use," said
Kamyar Enshayan, working group leader and CEEE director. Grants awarded
last fall compare a vertical axis wind turbine to a conventional
three-blade unit, test underground bunkers for drying and cold storage
of root crops, and use a biomass furnace to heat a high tunnel
greenhouse.
Grants of up to $2,000 to pay for the farmer’s time for installation,
administration and report writing will be considered for a farm
demonstration project. The grants cannot cover any equipment purchases.
No matching dollars are required. Proposal deadline is March 31.
For more information about the Farm Energy Working Group and to view
the application, go here
