The purpose of this grant is to design, install, and evaluate the effectiveness of an armored stanchion water access point for cattle. The armored stanchion is intended to increase bank stability and improve water quality through reduction of bank erosion and prevention of manure deposition directly in surface water.

The purpose of this grant is to demonstrate the practicality and the economic feasibility of utilizing farm residue and/or native perennial grasses as a pelleted biofuel for commercial and residential heating applications. Through this grant, the grantee will help to ensure that Montana land managers have the knowledge and opportunity to participate in the new bioenergy economy. Soil conservation, carbon dioxide abatement, energy independence and new economic opportunities are some of the benefits this project intends to achieve.

The purpose of this project is to facilitate the long-term protection of prioritized rangelands from invasive weed spread through rancher adoption of prevention stewardship and novel detection technologies to expand eradication efforts. This will be accomplished through local-level awareness campaigns and programs, collective rancher implementation of specific prevention and early detection / rapid response plans, and evaluation of local-level prevention programs using short- and long-term measurements. Coordinated and cooperative rangeland protection from weed spread will preserve natural habitats and native species where the ecological, economic, and societal benefits will accrue indefinitely. Maintaining weed-free rangelands will help sustain rural communities that depend on agriculture and wildlife-based expenditures.

The project activities include offering interested producers opportunities for small grants to help reduce the financial risk of planting new oilseed crops or developing on-farm or near farm biodiesel. Additionally, we will develop technical information on use and markets for co-products, distribute the information through the published, electronic, and face-to-face meetings and identify recommendations to change laws, policies, or rules that may be barriers to successful development of biodiesel fuels.
