Crop Grants to Benefit Oregon

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service has awarded over $2 million in Fiscal Year 2022 Specialty Crop Block Grant Program funding to Oregon. The grant will go a long way toward helping the Oregon Department of Agriculture fund projects that enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops in the state and support specialty crop growers through marketing, education, and research. The funding to Oregon is part of a total of $72.9 million in non-competitive FY 2022 funding awarded to 55 states, territories, and the District of Columbia.
