Well, you could always write yourself a Grant to study the effect of compact utility tractors on the local economy, or the effect on the value of the land in your area....... Don't laugh, in this area, grant writers include their own salaries in the grant..... Of course there is the Grant to study crosstraining folks in your fix to equal paying jobs.
I was involved in several training programs locally, and thus exposed to a few such grants. The same five names were always on all the grants I looked at.
