In an effort to help reduce energy usage, more than $800,000 is being awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.  The Food Cycle LLC in Kent is among those receiving funding from the Rural Energy for America Program to help lower operating costs.  $28,936 in funding will be used by The Food Cycle to install a 27.55 kilowatt roof mount solar PV system.  That will help meet 58.5 percent of the farm's operation, equivalent to about three households.
