About

NH SCBGP H.R. 133 Stimulus Funding
In addition to the regular SCBGP funding authorized the federal Farm Bill, the United States Congress awarded extra one-time SCBGP funding to state departments of agriculture due to the COVID-19 impacts on the food system under House Resolution 133 (“H.R. 133 Stimulus Funding”). This funding is available to eligible organizations and groups to conduct projects to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops in New Hampshire, via an application process.
