Specialty crops target of grant dollars

From the Kansas Department of Agriculture

TOPEKA -- Acting Kansas Secretary of Agriculture Josh Svaty says specialty crops will gain a stronger foothold in Kansas markets as a result of several projects that will be funded using federal grant dollars the state received from USDA.

Kansas received $214,055.68 as a result of a special provision in the farm bill, the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008, to fund projects that enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops, which are defined as horticulture, including turf grass sod and turf grass sod seed, fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, nursery crops and floriculture.
