Reminder: Under the Poultry and Egg On-Farm Investment Program (PEFIP), eligible producers can be reimbursed for past on-farm investments.
If you’ve upgraded your barn, improved your equipment, or enhanced your operations since March 19, 2019, you may be able to use PEFIP funds to cover your costs. To be eligible, growers must have held quota on January 1, 2021.
The Poultry and Egg On-Farm Investment Program (PEFIP) is a reimbursement-based program that will provide non-repayable contributions of almost $759 million over 10 years. The funding allocations include over $350 million earmarked for chicken growers.
Eligible expenses for retroactive projects can include structural upgrades, energy-efficient equipment, biosecurity improvements, and more. There are a few conditions to consider, so refer to the investment program for more.
