USDA has announced the availability of up to $75 million through the Local Meat Capacity Grant program, which is designed to build resilience in the meat supply chain by providing producers with more local processing options and strengthening their market potential. The program is targeted for processors with smaller-scale projects, like expansion or equipment updates.
Applying for a Local Meat Capacity Grant is a competitive application process. Applications will be accepted through July 19. More information on the program can be found at bit.ly/3AKMSqu.
