NCR-SARE Funds Over 110 Midwestern Projects

The North Central Region-Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (NCR-SARE) Program has announced the projects funded through its annual grant programs. More than 110 projects examining sustainable agriculture in the Midwest were awarded in excess of $2.7 million through NCR-SARE’s competitive grant programs.

For the 2012 Farmer Rancher Grant Program, NCR-SARE awarded more than $545,000 to 53 projects ranging from $1,264 to $22,500. The Farmer Rancher Grant Program is a grants program for farmers and ranchers who want to explore sustainable solutions to problems through on-farm research, demonstration and education projects.

For the 2012 Research and Education Grant Program, NCR-SARE awarded more than $1.5 million to nine projects ranging from $47,067 to $200,000. Research and Education projects include an outreach component and significant farmer/rancher involvement from inception of the idea through implementation of the project.

Earlier this year, NCR-SARE awarded more than $441,000 to six projects ranging from $42,472 to $75,000 for the 2011 Professional Development Grant Program. The Professional Development Grant Program addresses emerging issues in the farm community, using farmers as educators.
