Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack visited Minnesota this week to highlight USDA’s Rural Energy for America Program.
Governor Tim Walz accompanied Vilsack during a stop to a farm near St. Charles in the southeastern part of the state and tells Brownfield REAP is creating value-added opportunities.
“We were at a farm that put up a wind turbine, and they talked about REAP helping them on the front end and how they got a return on the investment and started to see a profit after two years.”
He says Minnesota leads the country in REAP grant recipients.
