Value Added Producer Grant

Grants may be used for planning activities and for working capital for marketing value-added agricultural products and for farm-based renewable energy. Eligible applicants are independent agriculture producers, farmer and rancher cooperatives, agricultural producer groups, and majority-controlled producer-based business ventures. The producer who is adding value to the product must produce the majority of the product themselves. All grants require a 50% match from the producer.
