ST. PAUL — The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is accepting grant applications for a new Soil Health Financial Assistance Pilot Program. The funds will help producers to purchase or retrofit soil health equipment.
We could all use a good laugh to start out the new year.
Even if it's not a lucrative venture, the hobby of raising rabbits continues at this farm near Sebeka, Minnesota.
The program provides funding to help processors add value to Minnesota agricultural products by investing in production capacity, market diversification and market access for value-added products.
Grant awards will provide up to 50% cost-share, with a minimum award of $500 and a maximum award of $50,000. A total of $475,000 is available.
Examples of eligible new or used equipment include, but are not limited to, no-till drills, air seeders, highboys, variable-rate equipment, retrofit projects to allow no-till planting, and more. Parts and materials used to retrofit existing equipment are also eligible.
To apply, visit mda.state.mn.us/soil-health-grant. Applications are due March 20.
