CDR & WCMA Awarded Dairy Business Innovation Initiative Grant
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 09/19/2019
The USDA announced that the Center for Dairy Research and Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association have been chosen to host a regional Dairy Business Innovation Initiative, serving Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota and Illinois. With initial funding
of more than $450,000, the project will offer low- or no-cost workshops designed to grow the dairy industry and allocate grants directly to dairy businesses for product development and marketing.
"This initiative will help support farmstead or small dairy businesses as they explore opportunities to create new value-added dairy products like specialty cheeses, in addition by providing targeted grants to dairy businesses it will encourage more entrepreneurial
efforts," said CDR Director John Lucey.
WCMA Director John Umhoefer adds that the program can boost sales of value-added dairy products domestically and abroad.
Dairy Business Innovation Initiative program was spearheaded by U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, with support from many other federal legislators from Wisconsin.
