Updated Funding Information for Dairy and Crop Operations Available Now

Sep 29, 2025

By Amber Machia

Alternative funding streams have become important to Vermont dairy operations, often supporting access to technology, improvements to equipment or infrastructure, or opportunities to diversify. Given the volatility of the milk market, every dollar counts. Competitive grants and programs available in the Northeast may assist in improving environmental outcomes – especially water quality, support animal wellbeing and comfort improvements, or help to upgrade out-of-date systems. Navigating the organizations that facilitate these funding opportunities – as well as the guidelines and applications associated with them – can be a challenge. We have recently updated our Funding Opportunities for Dairy & Crop Operations resource to help address this challenge. View individual funding opportunity details “at-a-glance” and check out the clickable links to learn more about organizations that offer business support, competitive grants, or other programs.
