Grant: Advancing U.S. Pork Sustainability and Market Value

$20 million grant available to Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri pork producers to advance climate-smart agriculture practices.

In September 2022, the Advancing U.S. Pork Sustainability and Market Value grant submitted by National Pork Board (NPB) and six collaborating organizations was awarded $20 million through USDA’s Partnership for Climate Smart Commodities program.

The grant program is designed to increase the sustainability of U.S. pork products by advancing climate-smart agriculture practices in Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri.

Grant Supports Climate-Smart On-Farm Practices
The grant will support the completion of We Care® on-farm reports by pork producers in three states, and it will incentivize the adoption of climate-smart practices that are recommended through the reporting process.

No two farms are the same, so the project team will look to implement practices tailored to growers’ needs and report progress toward meaningful climate benefits.

Explore Frontenac Provincial Park hiking trails with The Wandering Shepherds as we leave Ewetopia Farms and sheep farming behind and take a long overdue break hiking through the beautiful forests, lakes, boardwalks, and cliffs of Doe Lake and Arab Gorge Trails in Sydenham, Ontario, Canada. This is how we, as sheep farmers, take a break and soak up the local scenes and nature in our area. Farmers can't leave their farms for long, so these little nearby hiking trails allow that escape from farm life for a few hours before we head back to our working sheep farm for evening chores.
