Humboldt farmer gets solar power grant
HUMBOLDT — A Humboldt County farmer is one of the beneficiaries of the rural investments President Joe Biden announced Wednesday.
John Myers received an $18,656 rural development grant, according to an announcement from the White House.
That money will help pay for installing a 22 kilowatt solar array.
The president announced more than $5 billion in spending, largely in rural areas. It will go toward better adapting agriculture to climate change, as well as expanding high-speed internet access and improving local infrastructure. The funding comes from infrastructure and inflation reduction laws which Biden helped champion through Congress.
