2008 Aquaculture Grant Program
Program Guidelines
New Mexico Department of Agriculture (NMDA) will administer financial assistance to eligible aquaculture producers in New Mexico who produced an aquaculture species for which 2008 feed costs represented at least 25 percent of the producer’s total input costs for the aquaculture operation, as certified by the producer. New Mexico was allocated $5,837 by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and will be administered following basic USDA-CCC guidelines.
Administrative Program Process
New Mexico will have a one-month application period beginning August 31, 2009, and ending September 30, 2009, during which eligible aquaculture producers must complete an application that includes self-certification of species, aquaculture feed purchases (NMDA tonnage report filed by feed registrant or an affidavit from the feed manufacturer stating tonnage purchased) and feed price data for the year 2008. Once the application period closes, the number of eligible applicants will be calculated and the $5,837 will be prorated accordingly. NMDA has chosen the direct cash payment method of assisting eligible aquaculture producers.
