A letter dated June 12, 2012, from several members of Congress to the Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Agriculture, urging the renewal of core energy title programs in the upcoming Farm Bill to support rural economic development and energy security.

• The authors urge the renewal of core energy title programs in the next Farm Bill, specifically naming the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), the Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP), and the Biorefinery Assistance Program, stating these provide a "federal public-private partnership" that reduces energy input costs for agriculture and increases revenues.
• Since the creation of the Energy Title in the 2002 Farm Bill, REAP has funded more than 7,750 renewable energy and energy efficiency projects across every state. Additionally, BCAP has launched working energy crop projects with hundreds more in development, and the USDA has issued the first loan guarantees for cellulosic biofuel projects.
