USDA Officials Tour Vermont Dairy Farm's Anaerobic Digester
Technology Converts Waste Material into Electricity; Offers Numerous Environmental Benefits-Funding Available from USDA Nationwide

NORTH TROY, Vt., Oct. 8, 2010 ? A team of USDA officials today visited a North Troy dairy farm that is using an innovative technology to convert farm waste products, such as manure, into electricity. The project was funded with assistance from USDA...

The 300 kilowatt anaerobic digester system that the USDA officials toured at Chaput Family Farms will digest manure from a dairy herd, produce biogas and combust the gas to generate renewable energy on a continuous basis, and provide digester effluent for use as crop fertilizer and for cow bedding material...

Chaput's digester is the first to go online through Vermont's Standard Offer Program. The state will pay the farm a fixed price of 16 cents per kilowatt hour for the next 20 years. In addition, the farm will receive a renewable energy credit of 4 cents per kWh for the next five years through Central Vermont Power Service's "Cow Power Program..."

Farm-Based and Wind Energy Powers an Entire County in Wisconsin

...the President?s recent visit to two Manitowoc, Wisconsin, businesses; showcasing them as leaders in solar power and energy-efficient technology.

Manitowoc is not the only place in Wisconsin that is leading the way in renewable energy and energy efficient systems. Just to the north, in Kewaunee County, they, too, are on the cutting edge of the renewable energy race.

Kewaunee County is home to 20,300 residents and agriculture is the third leading employer for county residents; has become a forerunner, a model, in the generation and use of renewable energy on a large scale within the last seven years...

Today, there are two anaerobic digesters, both on cattle dairy farms, and three wind farms in operation throughout Kewaunee County. Collectively, these systems generate enough power to support and sustain 8,000 households. With a total of 8,900 households located in the entire county, renewable energy is powering Kewaunee County, Wis...
