DATCP reminds Wisconsin dairy processors to apply for the next round of Dairy Processor Grants through January 17, 2025.
A total of $200,000 is available for this round of Dairy Processor Grants. Eligible applicants must operate a licensed dairy processing plant in Wisconsin. They must be 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.
