ISDA Awards Livestock Grants
The Indiana State Department of Agriculture has awarded more than $120,000 to Indiana nonprofits. The agency says the funding will support organizations looking to grow the Hoosier livestock industry.
ISDA Director Ted McKinney says the agency selected the agencies that will "have the greatest impact and that transcend the livestock industry." He says the grants become "more competitive every year." The ISDA says information about the 2017 grant cycle will be available this fall.
