Michigan’s specialty crop sector has received $4 million for 18 projects enhancing the state’s competitiveness.
Federal funding through the USDA’s Specialty Crop Block Grant Program was distributed through the state’s ag department to focus on marketing, training, certifications, food safety, pest control, and plant health for specialty crops.
Senator Debbie Stabenow says the sector is critical to the state’s economy and the funding will help farmers keep their competitive edge and continue to provide healthy fruits and vegetables to American families.
