On-Farm Biofuel Production Grants

The Governor’s Office of Agricultural Policy provides grants through the County Agricultural Investment Program for on-farm energy efficiency and renewable energy production projects, including funding for equipment, structures, or other supplies necessary to convert biomass crops into useable energy or to convert grains and oilseeds into ethanol or biodiesel for use in on-farm equipment. Fuels produced on a farm with assistance through this program may not be used as transportation fuels for highway use. Applicants are encouraged to review manufacturers’ warranties and specifications before using the fuels in any on-farm equipment. For more information, see the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund Program Portal website.
