The DATCP has released the recipients of their 2024 Meat Processor Grants, and several local and area producers made the cut.
A total of 38 meat processors throughout Wisconsin are getting a portion of the $!8 million available this year, including Carl Budding and Company and Sheboygan Pasty Company, both out of Sheboygan.
Carl Budding plans to use its portion to get the infrastructure installed for an automated bagger and scale, while Sheboygan Pasty will implement some packaging line upgrades.
Also on the list are Maplewood Packing and Green Bay Dressed Beef, both out of Green Bay, Beck’s Meats and TMB East LLC, also known as Haen Meats, both out of Kaukauna, and Silver Creek Specialty Meats in Oshkosh.
Grant recipients were selected through a competitive review process and are required to provide a match of 100 percent of the grant amount.
These grants are available through the 2023-25 biennial state budget.
