PIERRE — Sen. Shantel Krebs is pushing a proposal for a $5 million grant program for agricultural facilities.

Krebs, R-Renner, would make the money available to the state Department of Transportation to use for grants for roads and bridges to new ag facilities. The legislation, SB 155, would cover processing, handling or loading of crops and raising or feeding livestock, including dairy. But the projects can’t be inside city boundaries. Her lead sponsor in the House is Rep. Justin Cronin, R-Gettysburg.
