The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) has announced that 38 meat processors will receive grants through the 2024 Meat Processor Infrastructure Grant Program. Now in its third year, this initiative aims to strengthen Wisconsin’s meat industry and enhance the long-term viability of the state’s livestock sector.
“With our meat products, people know they can trust the quality because Wisconsin’s meats are processed by some of the best workers in the world,” said Governor Evers. “Over the past five years, we’ve made significant investments to support our meat processors. Through the Meat Processor Infrastructure Grants announced today, we are continuing to build on our progress to support the meat and poultry industry for future generations.”
This year, a total of $1.8 million was made available for meat processor grants, with a maximum of $50,000 per project. Recipients were selected through a competitive review process and are required to match 100 percent of the grant amount. These grants are part of the 2023-25 biennial state budget, which also includes an additional $200,000 in grants available in 2025.
DATCP received 70 applications totaling $3 million in grant requests. The 38 grant recipients and their planned projects include:
