Specialty Crop Grant Applications are Due By June 30
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 05/18/2009

If you have an idea to make Wisconsin's specialty crops more competitive in the domestic or international marketplace, it just might qualify for a grant to help turn that idea into reality. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture will accept applications through June 30 for grants under the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program funded by the latest federal farm bill.

Specialty Crops Competitiveness funding is available for projects to benefit the specialty crops industry as a whole. Single organizations, institutions or individuals are encouraged to participate as project partners. Projects that profit only one commercial product or one business or organization will not be considered.

Specialty crops include fruits, vegetables, culinary herbs and spices, medicinal plants, tree nuts, flowers, and nursery plants. For a complete updated list of acceptable crops, see www.ams.usda.gov/scbgp.

For application materials or to get answers to your questions about the grant program, call 608-224-5136 or 608-224-5119.
