Minn. dairy farmers are encouraged to apply for the MDA’s Dairy Business Planning Grant.

This grant helps cover the costs of hiring a qualified, independent third-party to create a business plan for dairy operations.

The grant pays 50% of the cost to develop a business plan, up to $5,000.

Dairy producers must pay the other 50%.

The grant cannot cover any capital purchases.

Applications will be funded on a first come, first served basis.

To access the full eligibility requirements and application, visit the Dairy Business Planning Grant Website on the MDA’s webpage.
