NYS Grown and Certified Grant Program Webinar
Are you planning to apply to the NYS Grown and Certified ITRD Grant Program, but you have hit a wall in completing the application? This webinar is for you. Meet with Cornell Cooperative Extension Educators statewide who are providing support to farmers applying for this program. We will anticipate that prior to attending you will have reviewed the NYS FVI webinar that provides an overview of the program or reviewed the RFP/application.
We will cover:
- Any updated guidance from NYS Farm Viability about the program, based on questions they have received.
- Review of NYS Grown and Certified - what would participation in the program mean for your farm?
- Tips for putting your best food forward in your application. What types of projects are likely to be competitive?
- Project management - if you get funded what happens next?
- Overall Q&A for the program - come with questions!!! Where are you stuck?
We will then break attendees into smaller groups to allow for Q&A with CCE staff to help with specific questions, by ag sector/commodity.
