How specific does one need to be with the equipment type? If a 6 row no-till planter is desired does it need to be listed as "6 row no-till planter" or does it need to be more specific like "John Deer 7200 max emerge 6 row no-till planter"?

Six-row no till planter would be specific enough for the application. This gives flexibility to choose exact make and model after the grant is awarded.

No

This criteria is for the review committee to rate your application according to the type of impact the grant would have on your farm in a way that it can be compared across other applications. A "sustained" impact would be one where the value of the equipment or infrastructure is still occurring into the future of the farm, and not just a one-time impact the year of the purchase and have no further value after that.

The focus on "transformative" in that criteria is asking the applicant to explain in what way would this investment make a major improvement or change for their farm. In other words, how would this grant award transform your farm in some way?

See the full scoring rubric on page 7 of the Request for Proposals, under the header "Application Evaluation Profile."
