The Missouri Agricultural and Small Business Development Authority has announced two grant programs to support dairy and beef producers across the state.

Eligible beef producers include owners of commercial or purebred herds with fewer than 50 mature cows registered within a specific breed. Dairy producers operating established Grade A dairy farms involved in both raising and milking animals also qualify.

The grants will cover up to 75% of production costs, with a maximum award of $40,000 per project. Applicants must provide a 25% cash match.

Proposals will be evaluated competitively based on credibility, merit, and potential impact.
