Utah Grazing Improvement Program
Deadline
December 31, 2026
Amount
Up to $200,000
Region
UT
Eligible Projects
This grant supports rangeland improvement projects for Utah livestock producers, including water development, fencing, invasive species removal, reseeding, and grazing management planning on both private and public lands.
Who should apply?
Livestock producers operating in Utah who graze cattle, sheep, goats, or horses, including small operations, ranchers pursuing rangeland improvements, and producers who have experienced predation losses.
Lasso Tip
Be ready to show a meaningful cost-share contribution of your own, since the program is designed to cover a portion of costs rather than fund projects outright. Applications framed around rangeland health, watershed improvement, and long-term producer profitability align best with program goals.

Dairy Business Innovation Alliance (DBIA) - Dairy Industry Impact Grant
Deadline
September 30, 2026
Amount
Up to $100,000
Region
IL, IN, IA, KS, MI, MN, MO, NE, OH, SD, WI
Eligible Projects
This grant supports dairy businesses pursuing export growth or sustainability initiatives, such as trade shows and foreign market entry costs, energy-efficient equipment, water conservation processes, sustainable packaging, or dairy by-product innovations. Construction, building purchases, and general promotional costs are not eligible.
Who should apply?
Dairy businesses located in or operating within the DBIA service region that are developing an idea or solution with the potential to benefit the dairy industry broadly, not just their own operation.
Lasso Tip
Make sure your project fits squarely into either export or sustainability, since general or unrelated projects aren't eligible here. If your budget includes equipment, line up vendor quotes ahead of time since applications without them risk losing funding approval.
