Queenstown, Maryland (October 12, 2022) – The Maryland Grain Producers Utilization Board is seeking proposals from universities, organizations, and individuals to help fulfill its mission to increase the profitability of Maryland grain production and to improve the public understanding of agriculture.
Each year, third parties are eligible to submit grant proposals for the upcoming year covering education, market development, or research from checkoff collected grains – corn, wheat, barley, sorghum, and rapeseed/canola. The utilization board, made up of industry representatives, university staff, and grain farmers from across the state, reviews proposals and hear from applicants before selecting 2023 recipients.
“Our board values the grant number of proposals each year. Seeing the new ideas being brought to the table showcases how forward-thinking our industry is” says President, John Bruning. “We are excited to see what is to come this next calendar year.”
Proposals will be accepted until November 18, 2022, and funded grants will be announced in February 2023. To view 2022 recipients, check out our website here. For more information and to apply, please email Maryland Grain Producers Administrator, Marguerite Guare at marguerite.mdag@gmail.com.
