[RE-wrenches] USDA Rural Development fund

[Christopher Warfel]

Hi Daniel, it is a lot of paperwork, but if they pay you for your time, 
and they should, I think it is worth it. Importantly, you need to speak 
with the regional office administering this fund and make sure you know 
what they are requiring. Some of them use a subcontractor to help, but 
you do NOT need to work with the sub. I had a very bad experience with 
one of them in New England who was not very knowledgeable about the 
technology, and was impossible to work with.

I do know of a lot of oyster farms here who I turned on to this and used 
it to power their processing facilities.
