ODA has updated and revised the Ag Grants and Financial Resources web page.
 
This is a good starting place for those who are looking for assistance with ag-related business development, searching for grants, etc. The information has been divided into six major categories as noted below.

 
Important points for those seeking grants:
1) Grants are cyclical -- they come and go. If you find something of interest, make sure you understand the criteria and prepare ahead of time for the next round.
2) The proposed project must match the criteria that the funding entity set up. Follow the criteria and answer all the questions when developing a grant proposal.
3) Grants are usually competitive and each proposal will be evaluated on its merits against other proposals.

 
If you come across anything that would be helpful to post on this page, please let me know.
