Specialty Crop Grants Available in ND

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota's Agriculture Department is once again accepting applications for grants to help promote specialty crops.

Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring says the amount the state will get for the grants isn't known yet because of the delayed passage of the new federal farm bill.

Goehring says projects that promote the production, processing and use of specialty crops in North Dakota are eligible for grant money.

Specialty crops grown commercially in North Dakota include dry beans, dry peas, lentils, potatoes, confection sunflowers, grapes, honey and various vegetables.
