This is a block grant to promote specialty crops in the state. The state allocation is based on acres planted to specialty crops in each state. Approximately $600,000 is allocated to the State of North Dakota in previous years.
The 2012 Specialty Crop Block Grant program is now open. Please see information listed below.
