PCC-DBII Remains Focused on What Matters Most: Strengthening Dairy

Though many programs were temporarily closed during the government shutdown, here’s one piece of good news: PCC-DBII funding continued to flow and new awardees will be announced soon.

As a reminder, PCC-DBII is one of four national Dairy Business Innovation Initiatives (DBII), with funding established through the 2018 Farm Bill. We recently compiled a brief National Impact Report of the four centers.

Much of the future DBII funding is dependent on the next Farm Bill. You are welcome to contact your Congressional delegation to share your thoughts around the future of the PCC-DBII funding. If you have questions about how the shutdown is affecting other agricultural agencies, please contact your State Department of Agriculture and Congressional delegations.
