Wisconsin is awarding fifteen more Dairy Processor Grants through the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. The 200-thousand dollars budgeted for the grants was not enough to cover the 630-thousand dollars in grant requests, but Governor Tony Evers did propose raising that funding to 600-thousand dollars a year in the new budget.
Ag Secretary Designee Randy Romanski says processors need to constantly innovate and adapt to changing times and these grants are designed to help processors accomplish those goals and continue contributing to Wisconsin’s thriving dairy industry.
