Wisconsin residents are getting more time to apply for state grants for projects that promote the state’s food products.
The agriculture department says the deadline is now 4 p.m. Oct. 7 to apply for funding under the Buy Local, Buy Wisconsin program.
Ag secretary Rod Nilsestuen says the goal is to get more of Wisconsin’s food dollars spent on locally-made products.
Last year, 94 groups and individuals applied for a total of $225,000 in grants – and seven projects shared the money.
They included a regional nourishment program in northwest Wisconsin, produce auctions in central areas, and a restaurant promotion in Metro Milwaukee.
