The USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service has announced the availability of $300,000 in grant funding through the Sheep Production and Marketing Grant Program to strengthen and enhance the production and marketing of sheep and sheep products.
“From increasing processing capacity in areas experiencing bottlenecks in production to expanding critical research on pathogens affecting sheep flocks, projects such as these will ultimately increase the availability and consumption of sheep products across the country,” said USDA Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs Jenny Lester Moffitt in a statement.
Applications are due Sept. 15. To apply, visit www.nsiic.org.
