The North Dakota Department of Agriculture (NDDA) and the North Dakota Agriculture in the Classroom Council are inviting proposals for educational programs aimed at enhancing young people's understanding of agriculture's role in North Dakota and their lives.

"Agriculture in the Classroom programs help young people learn where their food comes from and how to make better food choices for themselves," stated Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring. "The program provides teachers with curricula and class lesson development materials, training seminars, a magazine, website, and other tools to make agriculture part of the school day. The materials provided support all core areas of study."

Commissioner Goehring announced that up to $100,000 will be allocated for these programs in this biennium.

For more details on grant opportunities and instructions on proposal submission, interested parties can visit www.ndda.nd.gov/aitcgrants or contact Heather Lang at 701-595-9120 or hlang@nd.gov.

Proposals must be submitted by 4 p.m. CDT on Friday, June 6, 2025.
