Eleven agriculture innovators will share $225,500 in grants for projects designed to strengthen, build or restore sectors of the Wisconsin agricultural industry.
The Agricultural Diversification and Development Grants build on the state’s efforts to encourage innovation and diversity in agriculture, Wisconsin’s signature industry.
“Agriculture is the backbone of Wisconsin’s economy and these innovative projects ensure that agriculture will drive our state economy for years to come,” Gov. Jim Doyle said. “These grants build on Wisconsin’s nation-leading agricultural diversity by encouraging investment, growing jobs and creating new products.”
