All of these programs are described on the North Central SARE website -- http://www.northcentralsare.org/Grants. Deadlines for proposals begin on October 23 for Farmer-Rancher grants; the other programs' deadlines are shortly after that date. SARE does not "pay farmers to farm," but it does fund projects that enhance sustainable agriculture through research, demonstrations, and education. Check out the information on the web site, and if you're in Illinois, let me know (SOON) if you want to develop a proposal.
