dairy grants | Next round of dairy grants is now open for applicants

Seven Wisconsin dairy companies will receive a Dairy Processor Grant from the previous round, to help foster innovation, improve profitability and sustain the longterm viability of Wisconsin’s dairy processing facilities. Wisconsin dairy processors are encouraged to apply for the next round of Dairy Processor Grants, open through Jan. 17, 2025.

“Wisconsin’s dairy processors are a vital part of Wisconsin’s dairy and agriculture supply chain, and we have been proud to invest in their growth and success in recent budgets,” said Gov. Tony Evers. “Dairy is core to who we are as a state. These grants play an important role in supporting this critical industry across our state. I look forward to continuing to advocate for, and invest in, producers and processors, and their success in America’s Dairyland.”

Eligible applicants must operate a licensed dairy processing plant in Wisconsin, that is 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.

“Processors are part of the reason that Wisconsin is known as a leader in dairy,” said Randy Romanski, Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) secretary. “This grant investment supports Wisconsin’s dairy processors, as they stay at the forefront of emerging technologies, sustainability and growth.”

Grants will be awarded for projects up to $50,000 and two years long. Processors must provide a match of 20 percent of the grant amount. Recipients will be chosen through a competitive selection process.

More information and the grant application are available at datcp.wi.gov. Applications must be submitted to datcpdadgrants@wisconsin.gov.

Grant recipients will be announced in March 2025.
