New template available for small VAPG grants!
This year may be the best year ever for Oregon farmers, ranchers, fishers, and foresters who add value to the agricultural commodities they raise/harvest. That’s because USDA Rural Development’s VAPG program has more funds to award than ever before and the application process has been simplified. Read more about this here: http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/or/biz/VAPG_2011best.pdf
But the deadline for applications is fast approaching – Monday, August 29, 2011.
The good news is that RD-Oregon has just released a consolidated, simplified template for producers who applying for working capital grants of $49,999 or less – probably the simplest and most beneficial type of VAPG assistance. You can find this template here: http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/or/biz/VAPGnarrativetemplate2011_smallWC.doc
We know that August is a terribly busy month for Oregon producers, but if you can find the time, this opportunity has the potential to be very worthwhile.
