Did you know that there are renewable energy tax credits and other incentives available to you that can lessen the financial burden when having a solar or wind energy system installed at your farm or small agricultural operation in Des Moines or Cedar Rapids, Iowa? It might seem hard to believe at first, but it’s true. It’s all part of the federal government’s and state of Iowa government’s realization that renewable energy is the way of the future and incentive for farmers and small business owners to invest in renewable energy now.

The specific renewable energy tax credits that you can receive include:

• A tax credit for 30 percent of the total cost of solar or wind system installation from the United States federal government

What’s more, the United States Department of Agriculture provides millions of dollars in grant money each year as part of its Rural Energy for America Program (REAP).
