US Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced today that more than $26 million in grants will be awarded to farmers and agricultural producers across the country through the USDA Value Added Producer Grant (VAPG) Program. The funds can be used to develop value-added agricultural products, conduct market research, and put business and marketing strategies into action.
“While the Biden Administration waged economic war against our ranchers and farmers, the Trump Administration is focused on putting our ranchers and farmers first. These grants represent another investment in the Great American Cattle Herd as we fortify the American beef industry,” said Secretary Rollins. “By supporting our ranchers and agricultural producers as they develop new products and increase the value of what they grow and raise, we’re helping to create new revenue opportunities to grow the herd and create long-term economic resilience in rural communities across this nation.”
