APR SARA Grant Deadline
March 20, 2017
The deadline for the APR program SARA grant (Round 3) is Monday, March 20. Funding up to $25,000 may be used to conduct a survey to resolve an APR boundary issue that is of concern to the Department, restore inactive farmland for active commercial agricultural use, or project implementation costs associated with resource restoration for expanded agricultural production.
Examples include clearing vegetation, applying soil amendments, reseeding hay fields, costs for equipment rental, custom work, contractors, and approved materials and equipment to complete a project as cost effectively as possible. Funding may also be used to restore farm resources that have been negatively impacted by flooding, erosion, storms, tornadoes and other natural disasters, such as clean up, hiring contractors, or renting equipment, purchasing materials, and other crop land restoration costs.
Responses must be received at the MDAR Amherst office by 4:00 P.M., March 20, 2017 and all projects must be completed by June 30, 2017.
