The Delaware Department of Agriculture is now accepting proposals for the 2025 Specialty Crop Block Grant Program. The federal Farm Bill is allotting approximately $340,000 through a competitive grant process to fund innovative projects supporting specialty crops and creating new and better markets for the Delaware specialty crop industry. The Department will accept applications through 4:30 p.m. (EST) on June 24, 2025.
Please note this deadline varies significantly from previous years’ requirements, allowing only a 20-day lead time for submission. We appreciate the challenge this short turnaround may create, but it’s needed to meet USDA timelines for this year’s grants.
