Resilient livestock winter feeding

The Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service awarded a $1,649,964.00 Project Grant to Lincoln University on August 7, 2023 to support resilient livestock winter feeding under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (CFDA 10.912). Through this grant, Lincoln University will conduct research, provide education and outreach services to farmers, ranchers, and non-industrial private forest landowners in order to promote agricultural production, forest management, and environmental quality as compatible national goals. Key activities may include research and training related to areas such as industrial hemp production, organic farming, integrated pest management, food safety detection, soil health, small ruminant production, and sustainable agriculture. Lincoln University has a history of delivering academic training, research, and education services to federal agencies through grants and contracts, including an indefinite delivery contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the U.S. Army Prime Power School.
