To qualify for consideration, proposals must have practical, near-term application involving practices or organizational arrangements that will stimulate and expand the alfalfa seed industry. Examples of eligible projects include but are not limited to conducting research programs that improve alfalfa growing culture, developing and improving measures for disease and pests known to attack alfalfa crops and pollinators such as Alfalfa Leaf Cutter Bees, and/or planning and conducting publicity and sales promotion campaigns, media development, and trade show exhibition.

A complete list of guidelines and eligibility requirements is available on the Montana Department of Agriculture’s website.  Questions can be directed by mail to the Montana Alfalfa Seed Committee at P.O.
