Grants Available for PA Dairy Farms to Work With Consultants & Advisory Teams

Whether you want to crunch the numbers to determine the feasibility of a project for your dairy operation, develop a business plan, pursue new opportunities or transformation projects, or get an outside perspective to smooth the transition from one generation to the next, we have TWO grant programs currently open to help you along the way.

Our Team Program Grants and Dairy Decisions Consultants (DDC) Grants allow you to use a team approach and a trusted team of advisors to strengthen your decision-making process. The Center leverages funds provided through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to provide these grants, and they can be a helpful starting point as you begin to implement some new goals for your dairy operation in 2026. Watch these two videos to hear how PA dairy producers have used both grants!

Eligibility: Pennsylvania dairy farms are eligible to apply for these grants. Farms that have 35 or more lactating cows or dairy heifer raising operations with more than 100 dairy heifers are eligible to apply.
