Dairy Improvement/Modernization Grant Application Open
Applications are open for the Northeast Dairy Business Innovation Center's Dairy Farm Improvement & Modernization Grant. Dairy farmers are eligible to apply.
With a total of $750,000 in funding, this grant will support a wide range of projects aimed at improving farm viability, milk quality, worker conditions, economic sustainability, and climate resilience.
Grants will range from $15,000 to $100,000 with a 25% in-kind and/or cash match.
This grant will fund projects that help dairy farmers improve their operations for long-term success. Projects that take a systems-level approach and that show collaboration with experts or technical service providers will be most competitive.
Producer associations and technical assistance providers applying on behalf of groups of farmers are also eligible, as are milk buyers/processors focusing on on-farm milk production or transfer.
Projects that only replace old equipment without broader improvements to farm systems are not eligible.
Applications are open until December 4, 2025 at 2 PM.
Grants are available to applicants in 11 Northeast states, including Maine.
