(VAPG) program. The grants are to be used for economic planning or working
capital activities for the processing and/or marketing of value-added
agricultural products. Independent producers, ag producer groups, farmer or
rancher cooperatives, majority controlled producer-based businesses are all
eligible to apply. Applications are due October

North Central Region Sustainable
Agriculture Research & Education (NCR – SARE) is seeking pre-proposals for
research, education, and on-farm demonstration projects that explore and
promote environmentally sound, profitable, and socially responsible food and/or
fiber systems. The emphasis is on outcome-based projects that benefit farmers
and explore new sustainable farm practices. Projects should be directed toward
research results that will translate quickly into farmer benefit, and the
farmers, extension staff, and other stakeholders should be involved in planning
project content. Pre-proposals are due
