Big thanks NICO JOHNSON 🎙️ and @Scott Nguyen for current info on the USDA REAP grants. I am waiting to see if they will even exist, before continuing to help Farmers in Utah apply for them.

Sean Garren DeKrey and Corey Ramsden were great. They helped craft the initial rules for the Solar for All program and are now helping implement and helping people navigate it. Love Vote Solar and Solar United Neighbors for the work y'all do. 🌞
