Dried grape producers could be eligible for the Victorian Government’s new On-Farm Drought Infrastructure Grants.
The program, administered by Rural Finance, helps primary production businesses implement on-farm infrastructure that improves drought management and preparedness.
If eligible, the grant is worth $5000 upon the farmer spending $10,000.
It is expected funding for these grants will run out quickly and producers who have spent funds on drought infrastructure or eligible activities since 30 September 2024 should apply as soon as possible.
