Specialty crop block grants available

South Dakota farmers, researchers and organizations have until March 24 to apply for USDA Specialty Crop Block Grants.

The grants can be used for projects focused on expanding crop production and research, and market access. USDA says projects could receive funding up to three years starting when the new fiscal year begins in the fall.

The South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources is hosting an informational Q&A session on the grants next Thursday. Click here for more details.
