The Montana Department of Agriculture is seeking proposals to help Montana agriculture meet more of the state’s food and renewable energy needs.

The Montana Legislature authorized $195,000 per year to fund four Food and Agricultural Development Centers to provide technical assistance to increase the capacity of Montana’s farmers, ranchers and other Montana entrepreneurs to produce food and value-added agricultural products, including farm-derived renewable energy.

Applicants must be Certified Regional Development Corporations or nonprofit organizations that serve at least a four-county region and existed prior to Jan. 1, 2009.

The request for proposals can be found at http://agr.mt.gov/foodandag/

The deadline for proposals to operate the centers is June 24, 2011. For more information, contact Collin Watters at the department at (406) 444-2402 or by e-mail at [email protected].
