<strong><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">About NCR-SARE's Farmer Rancher Grant Program</span></strong><br>
Farmers and ranchers in the North Central region are invited to submit grant proposals to explore sustainable agriculture solutions to problems on the farm or ranch. Sustainable agriculture is ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially responsible.
Projects should emphasize research or education and demonstration. Proposals should show how farmers and ranchers plan to use their own innovative ideas to explore sustainable agriculture practices and how they will share project results with their peers. <br>
