Dairy producers who planned on applying for a state grant only have a few more days to do so.
The application period for the DATCP’s Dairy Processor Grants comes to an end on Friday, January 17th.
A total of $200,000 is available for this round of Dairy Processor Grants as part of the biennial budget signed by Governor Tony Evers.
Eligible applicants must operate a licensed dairy processing plant in Wisconsin that is engaged in pasteurizing, processing, or manufacturing milk or dairy products.
Funding from these grants can be used to address a wide range of dairy business needs such as food safety, staff training, plant expansion or modernization, and professional consulting services.
Grants will be awarded for projects up to $50,000 and two years in duration.
Processors must provide a match of 20% of the grant amount.
Recipients will be chosen through a competitive selection process.
More information and the grant application are available at DATCP.wi.gov.
