18th Annual VT Grazing & Livestock Conference

As you go about the daily business of farming, what questions would you like to answer?  And if you think you know how you’d go about testing your ideas, how can you get it funded?  UVM Extension Agronomist Sid Bosworth and NE SARE Farmer Grant Coordinator Carol Delaney will help guide you toward measurable and fundable projects.  Sid will highlight a checklist of research design pieces and setting up practical measurements that will get you the information you need.  Carol will describe what she’s seen from the “funded project” side and how to go about making sure work hasn’t been funded somewhere else.  The session will conclude with a farmer who’s conducted on-farm research talking about their project and experiences.  Depending on the number of attendees, we may break into small groups to help you work through ideas.
