SARE Farmer/Rancher and Youth Educator Grant Writing Workshop
Two SARE Farmer/Rancher Grant Writing Workshops will be held, one in St. Charles MO on Sept 11th and the other in Hillsboro MO on Sept 18th.
The Farmer/Rancher Grant Program is for farmers who want to explore sustainable solutions to problems through on-farm research, demonstration and education projects. A single farmer can get up to $7,500; two farmers working together on the project can get up to $14,000 and three or more farmers working together can get up to $24,000.
