The goal of the Regenerative Grazing program is to train more farmers to implement regenerative grazing approaches and improve grazing planning, animal management, ecosystem biodiversity, and soil health monitoring on participants’ operations. Questions about the Regenerative Grazing Program may be directed to Erin Kiley at erinkiley@missouri. edu.
**If you’d like more information on how to enroll, check out our recorded webinar Let’s Talk Enrollment. ** **Information on the next enrollment period coming soon! ** ## Contract structure and payments * The Regenerative Grazing Program will offer producers $50 per acre to implement managed grazing with regenerative outcomes: enhanced soil health, improved ecosystem biodiversity, and increased carbon sequestration.
* Participants will develop and submit a grazing management plan for their enrolled fields. * Participants in this program will have the opportunity to provide a soil health sample for pastures enrolled in the project. The Producers will submit samples to the University of Missouri’s Soil Health Assessment Center and Missouri CRCL Project will provide cost-share.
Further details on the soil health sampling process will be provided. * Each farmer can receive up to $10,000 maximum per practice per enrollment period. * The lifetime cap has been lifted, any producers interested in re-enrolling in the program should consider how they can further improve their management practice beyond what has been done in previous years.
In order to be eligible for any Missouri CRCL Project Inventive payment program producers will be required to meet the following criteria based on the United States Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS)’s requirements.

The Department of Defense FY2026 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) provides funding for U.S. universities to acquire research equipment and instrumentation in areas important to national defense, including AI and machine learning hardware. The program is administered jointly by the Army Research Office (ARO), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), with approximately $34 million available and 95 awards anticipated. DURIP funds the acquisition of specialized computing hardware for AI/ML research (GPU clusters, TPUs, neuromorphic processors), robotics and autonomous systems testbeds, sensor arrays and data collection systems for machine learning training, high-performance computing infrastructure for defense-relevant AI research, and laboratory equipment for human-AI interaction studies. The program specifically supports equipment that enhances research-related education in DoD-priority disciplines. While general-purpose computing is not eligible, computing equipment directly supporting DoD-relevant AI research programs qualifies. No cost sharing is required.
