The Missouri Department of Agriculture is offering grants to get more locally produced food into the state’s schools. Applications are being accepted to those who produce food themselves, or make foods that come from small farmers. Agriculture Director Richard Fordyce tells the Associated Press the goal is to increase the amount of Missouri-made food that is served to students at breakfast and lunch. Application deadline is October 31 and grant amounts are up to $200,000. More information is available here.
