Minnesota is listed on more than 25 of the USDA’s Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities grants. Grants range in size from $5 million to $90 million. Recruiting farmers into these programs is a primary goal of these projects. Attracting a skilled workforce to assist farmers is another goal of this working group.
