NEW Dairy Productivity Grants

Center for Dairy Excellence

Are you considering a project that directly impacts milk production on your dairy operation? From milking efficiency technologies and feeding-related technology to activity monitoring systems, apply for a Dairy Productivity Grant by January 5, 2026. If approved, you will receive up to $10,000 for your project with a 25 percent match.
This new Dairy Productivity Grant is focused on first-time investments in Milking Efficiency Technologies (pipeline, automatic milking technology, robotic milking technology, and direct load milking), Feeding Technologies (TMR mixer, feed tracking and inventory technology), or Activity Monitoring Systems (boluses, collars or tags). Don’t see your project on this list? Email Melissa Anderson or call 717-788-0296 to see if your project meets the requirements.
Farms that have 35 or more lactating cows or dairy heifer raising operations with more than 100 dairy heifers are eligible to apply. Farms may not apply for this grant if they plan on utilizing the funding as a match for another state grant.

This is a competitive grant opportunity. Applications will be accepted from December 3 – January 5, 2026.
