Sustainable Agriculture Producer Grants, Southern US
Producer Grants to Further Sustainable Agriculture Now Available for southern US
Calls for Proposals for the 2013 Producer Grants, intended for farmers/ranchers and farmer/rancher organizations throughout the Southern region, are now available from the Southern Sustainable
Agriculture Research & Education (SSARE) program.
Proposal submission deadline is November 15, 2012. Announcement of grants will take place in late February 2013.
Producer Grants are used to conduct projects that solve challenges farmers face and to develop information on what works and what doesn’t so that other farmers and ranchers facing those same challenges can benefit from the results of the funded project. The grants are not designed to pay a farmer to farm. They are designed to take some of the financial risk away from trying a solution.
Projects may be funded for up to two years for a project maximum of $10,000 for an individual producer or $15,000 for a producer organization. Producer organizations should be comprised primarily of farmers/ranchers and must have a majority farmer representation on their governing board.
For detailed information on how to apply for a Producer Grant, download the current Call for Proposals from https://www.southernsare.org. The Call for Proposals includes application information, program priorities, use of funds, proposal submission instructions, and contact information. Be sure to carefully follow the information in the Call for Proposals when submitting your proposal. Failure to follow the submission guidelines may result in your proposal being rejected.
