HARRISBURG - The Penn sylvania Energy Development Authority (PEDA) is making $703,000 available to farmers and agricultural concerns for the completion of general energy development and energy con servation projects, according to state Agriculture Secretary Penrose Hallo well. “These PEDA grant and loan programs give the com- agriculturalists a splendid opportunity to pioneer new methods of producing and conserving our vital energy resources,” said Richard C. Waybright, a Gettysburg dairy farmer, who is a PEDA member. Waybright has incorporated a methane digester in his family’s operation to convert gas from animal waste to electricity which is resold to the utility. The purpose of the 1984-85 Energy Grant and Loan programs coordinated through the Penn sylvania Department of Com merce, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, is to promote and enhance the development and conservation of Pennsylvani?’® TOWANDA - There’s a change in crop insurance programs that could benefit many farmers. In the past, the amount that could be recovered due to a crop loss was based on the average yield for a particular area. Consequently, the better than average products couldn’t get back the value of their crops. In many cases, it wasn’t worthwhile for producers to buy crop insurance. But now all of that is changing. The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation has a new program which is based on the actual production history of each producer. Producers can now insure their crop based on the SJJ&V ~ •deacJni^ 1 * 18 C att For GoodP ,„„ r — Apply for Pa. energy grants, loans energy resources. Hallowed is also on the 17-member PEDA Board of Directors. Waybright said the focus of the grant proposals are those energy technologies which are not yet considered commercially available; those which will maximize the use of Pennsylvania energy resources; and those which will enhance the wider use of Pennsylvania’s energy resources. The loan program is concerned with sources that can be developed for commercial and market-viable application. Possible projects include: methane production from animal waste; passive and active solar heating and cooling for farm buildings; on-farm alcohol for fuel production; wood combustion and pyrolysis (burning wood to produce usable gas); hydroelectric projects; and electricity production from wind power. Proposals must meet certain “core” criteria to qualify for consideration under either program. All proposals must: demonstrate that the project will New crop insurance program Dec.

It can actually mean lower costs and better coverage for the better producers. It’s designed so that, in the long run, premiums paid in will equal the 'payments returned to the farmer for crop losses. In the short run, it will help protect farmers’ cash flow from year to year. It’s easy to qualify, easy to collect, and by 1987 all crops will be covered.
