Western SARE Farmer/Rancher Grant Program

/in

Proposals are due November 20, 2025.
Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) invites agricultural producers to apply for Farmer/Rancher grants up to $35,000. In this program, a producer and a technical advisor work together to develop a project that conducts both research and outreach on a sustainable agriculture topic. With the support and guidance of the technical advisor, producers must integrate research and education to conduct on-site/on-farm experiments to address social, environmental, and economic aspects of agricultural sustainability. Outreach activities may include on-farm/ranch demonstrations, farmer-to-farmer educational activities, and other approaches.
