The USDA SARE program is currently funded at $27 million per year nationally. This presentation should be of interest to a wide range of faculty, staff and graduate students working on agriculture, food, and rural issues. Following the presentation there will be time for questions and discussion about SARE funding and resources. Karl Hoppe and Bill Hodous, North Dakota SARE Co-coordinators, will also be available to answer questions.

The seminar will also be broadcast by interactive video to the seven Research Extension Centers. Please contact ndsu.exp-dir@ndsu.edu if you need to connect to the meeting from a location other than one of the REC videoconference rooms.
