The Rapid Response Mini-Grant for Livestock Processing was a one-time program in 2020 that helped processors and certain producers respond to market issues caused by COVID-19. The program's goal was to increase slaughter, processing, and storage capacity for livestock products until existing markets returned or new markets were developed. Funding for this program was made available through the Agricultural Growth, Research, and Innovation (AGRI) Program.
We awarded $360,673.32 to 81 Minnesota livestock processing plants and producers to offset the cost of expenses such as adding coolers, refrigeration units, or slaughter and processing equipment.
