NNYADP leverages the valuable expertise of over 80 regional farmers who volunteer their time to review grant proposals. These farmers represent diverse agricultural sectors, including dairy, field crops, maple production, and more.
Their evaluations and recommendations play a crucial role in the NNYADP farmer executive committee's final grant award decisions.
Funding for the NNYADP comes from the New York State Legislature and is administered by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets.
In 2025, the program will allocate $300,000 in small grants, providing a significant boost to support innovative agricultural research initiatives across Northern New York.
This is an excellent opportunity for farmers to contribute to the region's agricultural development and secure funding to bring their research ideas to life.
