Daschle Announces $125,000 Grant to Dakota Farms International
WASHINGTON, DC - Senator Tom Daschle announced today that Dakota Farms International, LTD, of Carpenter, will receive a grant of $125,000 from USDA Rural Development. The funds are awarded under the Value-Added Agricultural Product Market Development Program, and will be used to market barley tea to Japan.
"It's important that South Dakota businesses get the resources they need to be globally competitive," Senator Daschle said. "I'm glad to see this funding provided to Dakota Farms International, and I hope that other exporters in the area will build on their success in gaining foreign markets for locally grown products."
