The Iowa Farmers Union and a solar energy group have filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Agriculture challenging changes to a renewable energy funding program. The plaintiffs argue the USDA's revisions to how the program allocates grants hurt farmers and solar developers who rely on the funding. Outlets in Iowa are covering the case, which tests how federal renewable energy support is distributed to rural communities.
