(The Center Square) — The latest round of federal grants has sent $1.45 million to four projects in Pennsylvania to boost renewal energy and efficiency efforts.

Half of the money goes to Reinford Farms, a dairy farm and trucking business in Mifflintown to replace a motor for its anaerobic digester, which breaks down food and animal waste. The U.S. Department of Agriculture expects it to produce enough biogas to power almost 350 homes, about 3.7 million kilowatt hours every year.
