Legislature Funds New Dairy Program |
|
Minnesota's legislature and Governor Jesse Ventura have agreed to invest more than $2 million over the next two years to provide grants and technical assistance to Minnesota dairy farmers working to improve the profitability of their operations. The Dairy Development and Profitability Enhancement program is designed to help producers deal with environmental issues, establish manure management plans, increase milk production, and develop business and milk marketing plans. It will provide valuable on-farm technical assistance to help producers identify opportunities to increase profitability, and offer access to a wide range of cost-sharing programs. It will also provide many other professional and technical services. To find out more about this valuable resource for your farm, contact the Minnesota Milk Producers Association toll free at 877/577-0741. MMPA is an association of Minnesota dairy producers that together with other industry partners is providing leadership in working with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, other state agencies, and the University of Minnesota to make this program available to all dairy producers across the state. |
