Regional Livestock Development and Planning Grants Applications Open

Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring announced that applications are now open for regional livestock development and planning grants. The grant program was created by the 68th Legislative Assembly earlier this year. The program will assist counties and regional planning councils in livestock development planning.

“Counties and regional planning councils can use the grants for site analysis and coordinating strategic planning,” Goehring said. “The grants will help to accommodate and encourage investment in livestock production, which will in turn complement our farmers and position North Dakota for growth in animal ag.”

Grants will be awarded in amounts up to $12,000 for every county and up to $500 for every township.

Video: Farm Health Guardian | Digital Biosecurity in Real Time

Disease risk, biosecurity, and real-time monitoring continue to be major topics across the pork industry. In this episode of Swine Web Industry Perspectives, presented by Farm Health Guardian, we discuss how digital biosecurity and real-time data are changing the way producers think about herd protection, people movement, and operational decision-making.

The conversation explores:

disease risk in modern pork production,

the impact of people movement on biosecurity,

the importance of real-time monitoring,

digital biosecurity technology,

and how Farm Health Guardian developed tools designed to support modern swine operations.

As the industry continues focusing on prevention, preparedness, and operational efficiency, connected technologies and actionable data are becoming increasingly important parts of modern herd health management.
