Alfalfa Seed Committee Invites Proposals to Expand Industry

HELENA, Mont. (NMB) – The Montana Alfalfa Seed Committee is inviting proposals for demonstration projects, applied research, and market development projects designed to improve the quality and expand production of alfalfa seeds grown in the state.

Public and private entities and organizations, business and industry, educational institutions, local governments, and individuals may apply. To qualify for consideration, proposals must have practical, near-term application involving practices or organizational arrangements that will stimulate and expand the alfalfa seed industry.

Examples of projects are conducting research programs that improve alfalfa culture, and planning and conducting publicity and sales promotion campaigns, media development, and trade show exhibitions.

Proposals are due on February 9th. The Montana Alfalfa Seed Committee will review proposals and recommend funding awards to the Montana Department of Agriculture at its first regular meeting of 2022.
