Focus on Energy Reaching Out to Struggling Wisconsin Farmers 

Focus on Energy Reaching Out to Struggling Wisconsin Farmers 

Wisconsin farmers reeling from a disastrous winter are getting a little help from the state’s energy efficiency program. Focus on Energy® is offering a 25 percent bonus on top of its regular financial incentives to Wisconsin farmers whose barn roofs collapsed due to heavy snowfall. The money can help farmers replace some equipment damaged in roof collapses – things like lights, waterers and circulation fans – with energy-efficient options that will save them money on their energy bills for many years.
