The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service awarded a $5 million Project Grant to the Center For Rural Affairs through the Meat and Poultry Intermediary Lending Program (CFDA 10.382). The two-year grant will facilitate financing to qualified meat and poultry processors in Nebraska to increase processing capacity. The Meat and Poultry Intermediary Lending Program provides grants to intermediaries that offer loans to help startup and expand small meat and poultry processors, thereby creating more opportunities for farmers and ranchers to process and market livestock. The Center For Rural Affairs will utilize the funding to provide loans to eligible meat and poultry companies through March 2025, supporting the program's goal of developing local and regional meat processing infrastructure.
