"HTI continues to seek approval from the United States Department of Agriculture to be a qualified technology that would allow farmers to apply for a REAP (Rural Energy for America Program) grant. It is corresponding with Senator Blanch Lincoln's office to expedite the process. Members of her staff visited our facility and were given a presentation on our technology in August. Senator Lincoln chairs the United States Senate Agriculture Committee. More information on the REAP program can be found on the USDA website."
