more.... * Note that the REAP program (also "Section 9006") has already funded $45 million in grants and nearly $1 million in loan guarantees for 117 wind projects across America. * For those new to planning energy projects, we recommend our “About Clean Energy” pages. We’re adding new content for planning wind projects, soon as well. Other resources: Windustry's Wind Basics AWEA Factsheets * To receive updates when the REAP program is released, please join our email list. See the “Get FarmEnergy News” link at Farmenergy.org Thanks for your efforts to build clean energy capacity.

It’s great to hear this interest. Following is information that should help everyone here. Also, stay in tune here and at FarmEnergy.org. * The USDA is expected to release the new program for 2009 by the end of this calendar year. While there are changes from the new Farm Bill, it will be similar to the 2008 program. That means you can all start thinking about your projects now, and doing the basic project planning. You can use resources at FarmEnergy.org but be prepared to make changes when the new program rules come out. * Information on grant applications for previous years can be found at FarmEnergy.org. See, especially the links on the left side of the page for “Applications & Tools,” “Incentives,” and “9006 FAQ.” (9006 is also REAP). * If you plan to apply for a REAP grant, you should contact your USDA state energy coordinator. You can find a list of those at FarmEnergy.org "State-Level USDA Contacts. (continued...)

I have 5.8 acres in rural champaign county. I am very interested in utilizing wind technology. I am trying to start a small farm and I am located in an excellent area to make a positive impact toward the use of renewable energy generating system. I missed the workshop. How can I find out more? Thank you.
