The US government issues agricultural grants to manufacturers and producers of agricultural commodities to aid agricultural development and improve the agricultural industry as a whole through various grant programs

Some of these include

1. Aiding producers of agricultural commodities to carry out sufficient research to aid the production and cultivation of better agricultural commodities and products. This would help in facilitating proper methods of cultivation and thereby increase agricultural yield.

2. Grants to facilitate better methods of agricultural production and thereby improve the quality of commodities resulting in an increased consumption of agricultural products.

3. Grants to improve and maintain the health of animals engaged in agricultural activities. Healthier farm animals will lead to increased agricultural activities.

4. Federal grants to maintain and conserve the wetlands, grazing lands and other farm lands that are key to the production and cultivation of agricultural commodities. Conserving such lands will also reduce environmental damage and thereby improve production

5. Grants to construct better water management facilities and irrigation plants thereby improving the overall quality of water.

6. Reduction of salt load on in the land by carrying out necessary environmental practices. This would lead to better production of agricultural commodities.

7. Improve farm income levels by stabilizing the balance between supply and demand for agricultural produce. This stabilization will lead to better national welfare and less inconsistencies.

8. Grants for establishing agricultural teaching capacities including faculty preparation, instrumentation for reading, development and selection of curriculum and materials.

9. Establishing projects and communities to meet the food and nutrition requirements of people in lower income groups and to assist in improving their general nutrition.

10. Promote national welfare and economic stability and strength in the agricultural industry by establishing strong crop insurance programs.
