Agricultural Producers

Stewards Unlimited is on a mission to help agricultural producers grow with confidence through researching opportunities, developing strategic project plans, and securing funding through proposal development.

Federal Grants for Agricultural Producers

There are hundreds of federal grants available to you. Here are some of our favorite programs to work on with our clients. Bring us any program you’re interested in and we can take a look!

Value Added Producer Grant (VAPG)

Can reimburse up to $250,000 for processing, sales, and marketing costs for any “value-added” product that you produce.

Rural Energy for America Program (REAP)

Can provide up to 1 million dollars for renewable energy systems like solar or energy efficiency improvements for new agricultural equipment.

National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS)

Can fund things like hoop houses, irrigation systems, and fencing for rotational grazing. A NRCS representative will visit your property and help you understand which programs you could apply for.

Meet Our Clients

"My first go with the VAPG I did the grant myself. It was sooo nice to not have the full burden on my shoulders [this time around]! Knowing how much time and effort I spent last year, this was a very worthwhile investment! Stephen was awesome - as was the whole team ... I knew this project would be completed to a high standard!"
"As a small farm, we were overwhelmed with a few overlapping grant applications. Stewards Unlimited helped us prioritize tasks, keep us on schedule, and recommend ways for our applications to be more successful ... We're grateful to have a long term partner for grants so we can focus on our business!"

State & Regional Grants for Agricultural Producers

Each state has its own collection of grant and loan programs through the State Department of Agriculture. Depending on your state or region’s priorities, there could be very accessible funding which could even be used to match federal funding. Some examples of state/regional grants we work with our clients on include:
