In 2023, the Vermont State Legislature passed H.494, providing $6.9 million in relief funding to the organic dairy sector. This grant funding is designed to mitigate the extreme market challenges in 2022, including high feed and input costs. Eligible dairy farmers who timely apply will receive a single payment of $5 per hundredweight of organic milk produced in 2022. The Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets (AAFM) is responsible for the application process and distribution of funds. This program has a deadline of October 20th, 2023!
