[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 216130, member: 173"] I think some of this is getting mixed up. There are two different "programs" being talked about. Farm subsidies are the checks producers get for NOT producing a crop.. here in Texas anyone with a "base" can get these for a period of 7 years, and they go down in value every year. I'm pretty sure this is also tied up in the insured crop deal. You pay insurance on your crop before it's planted, and if you don't yield a certain amount, you get a check from the gov't making up the difference. I know a lot of farmers around here that NEVER make the yield... seems like they need a new profession? The second gov't program is the cost share program, which you sign up for with USDA, and it's based on what type of program is being offered in your area. One year it may be waterways and terracing, one year permanent grasses, etc. Here you can do a 5 or 10 year program, with certain proceedures to be done every year, or a "one time" deal. The soil and conservation agent has to come out and make sure you have a property that will fit the need, and there's only so much $$ in a fund that will cover the costs, so first come, first served.
