The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service awarded a $3,450,000 Project Grant under the Dairy Business Innovation (DBI) Initiatives program (CFDA 10.176) to the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets (VAAFM) to expand the Northeast Dairy Business Innovation Center's (NE-DBIC) ability to provide grants primarily to dairy farmers and processors for innovation and modernization projects. This funding will support an array of farm, processor, research, and technical assistance initiatives that improve efficiencies, decrease energy use, and enhance sector resilience, delivering immediate and long-term positive impacts across the Northeast dairy supply chain. As part of this award, VAAFM issued a $550,000 sub-grant to the University of Vermont to administer a Dairy Herd Management Technical Assistance Program.
