Reviewers are looking for interesting ideas that may or may not work. Ideas do not have to be brand new, but should be new to Minnesota or the part of the state where they’re being proposed. For more ideas, see previously funded projects summarized in the Greenbook (see the link in Pre-Application Information below).
Every project must publicize and hold an outreach event in the form of a field day or other virtual event in the final season/year of the project. Examples of outreach events may include, but are not limited to, field days, video diaries, posts of how-to guides, blog posts, podcast interviews, presentations at ag-based conferences or meetings, etc.
