The next set of grants and loans are now available from the Agricultural Enhancement and Diversification Program, with applications due Jan. 4, 2021.
This program helps fund qualified, agriculture-related projects across the state with zero percent interest loans and grants. The program goal is to expand the state’s value-added sector and encourage farm diversification.
There are five funding sources available: a farm diversification grant, an agricultural event grant, a marketing and utilization loan, a cooperative marketing loan, and the basic and applied research loan/grant. The application process is simple, and applications are accepted quarterly.
Grants are available up to $10,000.
Additional information about each loan can be found at www.ag.ok.gov/mktdev/aedp.htm. Program coordinator, Jason Harvey, can be reached at 405-606-1477.
