Do you know about the National Sheep Industry Improvement Center (NSIIC)?

They are the group that manages USDA’s Sheep Production and Marketing Grant Program. NSIIC helps put real dollars behind projects that strengthen U.S. sheep production and marketing. Each year, they budget about $300,000 in competitive grants for industry-led ideas such as infrastructure and business development, production/ resource development, and market research, the kinds of projects that remove bottlenecks and help the industry grow.

How to apply: proposals typically open over the summer and are due September 15. Learn more at nsiic.org and request application materials via [email protected].

Photo: Bollman Industries received an NSIIC grant this year to more easily handle smaller lot sizes to serve a broader range of customers.
