Southern SARE Producer Grant

Proposals are due December 5, 2025.
Southern Region Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) is accepting proposals for Producer Grants up to $20,000 for individual farmers/ranchers and $25,000 for farmer/rancher organizations. Producer Grants are used to conduct sustainable agriculture research projects that solve agricultural production 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 goal of the Producer Grant Program is simple: Empower farmers to test, on a small scale, a practice or technology to a production or marketing problem (either as an individual or as a group), evaluate whether the results sustainably address the problem, and share how those efforts can benefit other farmers.
