Deadline Approaching For Sustainable Ag Grants

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) reminds Minnesota farmers and others of the upcoming January deadline for its Sustainable Agriculture Demonstration Grant Program. This 25-year-old program provides grants to test ideas focusing on conservation, energy, profitability, and/or farmers’ quality of life.

Applications from farmers receive priority, but the program also funds Minnesota nonprofit and educational organizations, as long as Minnesota farmers are meaningfully involved in the project. Projects can last up to three years, and applicants may receive up to $25,000 for their projects.

Anhydrous Ammonia application with a John Deere 8960 Tractor

Video of a farm in southern Darke County Ohio putting on pre-plant anhydrous ammonia using their John Deere 8960 Tractor pulling a 19 shank DMI 5250 applicator tool bar and tank. I filmed this mid April 2025. The anhydrous ammonia is a form of nitrogen and will feed the corn they will be planting into this field.
