Gov. Tony Evers has announced the creation of the Meat and Poultry Supply Chain Resiliency Grant Program, which will invest up to $10 million in the program to continue to grow Wisconsin’s meat processing industry and improve the long-term viability of the state’s livestock industry. Funded through the American Rescue Plan Act, grants will be distributed by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
Wisconsin is home to hundreds of meat processors that will have the ability to apply for individual grants of up to $150,000. Grants will be awarded through a competitive selection process, and processors are required to provide a match of 100% of the grant amount.
