Farmers and ag producers impacted by the recent Texas wildfires can get up to $10,000 in savings on eligible propane-powered farm equipment for agricultural operations.
Through Dec. 31 2024, affected producers in Texas and parts of Oklahoma who apply for PERC's Propane Farm Incentive Program can earn double the incentive amount for qualifying propane-powered equipment. Eligible equipment includes irrigation engines, building/water heating systems, power generators, and flame-weeding systems.
“Devastating wildfires like this can quickly cripple a farm’s operations and finances,” said PERC's Mike Newland. “As producers work hard to recover and rebuild, we hope that this program can help replace essential equipment lost to the fires.”
The program enables applicants to receive twice the standard incentive amounts of $600 per liter of fuel displacement for propane-powered irrigation engines, up to $60/kW for generators, $3,000 for flame-weeding systems, and $4,000 for agriculture building heaters.
Applications will be verified by ZIP code and National Weather Service data.
