Save Money With Grain Dryer Incentives - Jessica Mlsna

Since 2020, Focus on Energy has helped Wisconsin farms and agribusinesses save money with their grain bin tune up program, and energy saving incentives.  In that time, 87 dryers have received incentives to upgrade their grain dryer.  These incentives totaled over $1.5 million.  There are 24 trade allies across the state that have assisted customers in receiving incentives and choosing an energy efficient dryer.  Incentives are available through Focus on Energy for Natural Gas dryers and propane dryers. 

If your existing grain dryer is 20 to 30 years old, consider replacing with a newer, more efficient model.
