The Agricultural Department is offering the Supplemental and Alternative Crops Competitive (SACC) Grants Program to advance canola as a vital supplemental and alternative crop within the United States. This grant is specifically designed to significantly increase canola crop production and/or acreage. The program seeks to achieve this by supporting projects focused on the development and testing of superior germplasm, improving existing methods of planting, cultivation, and harvesting, and ensuring the rapid transfer of new knowledge to producers via Extension services. Proposals should comprehensively address Extension, education, and communication activities related to the research areas to facilitate practical application and broader impact.
