Mtg. Room 5 & 6“Funding Your Farm or Fair: How to Find and Win Grants That Work for You”
Grants can open doors—whether you're trying to expand your operation, invest in infrastructure, improve soil health, launch an educational program, or just keep the lights on. But finding the right opportunities—and writing a proposal
that actually gets funded—can feel like a full-time job. This session cuts through the noise. We'll walk through where to look for AG-friendly grants, how to decide what's worth your time, and what makes a strong proposal stand out.You'll leave with practical tools, insider tips, and sample language you can actually use. If you've ever wondered how others seem to “crack the code” of grant funding—this is for you.
