Anybody ever had projects that went through this program? We have a pond that needs working (levee and dug out) and pasture that under the program is to be planted in legumes.

Basically, they come out and access the livestock pond and plan how to fix it. They pay a little ( up to 1500 cubic yards of dirt moved I think) and they evaluate your soil sample results and you plant broad leaf legumes (clover) to help with bringing souls back and it's partially funded.

Anyway, just curious if anybody has experience with this

I've gotten curt share money through equip before for reforestation in Texas. Simple process and easy to get funded. Your local office will provide with the requirements, but you can pretty much tell them what you're going to do and they'll sign off on it. Same with amending the prescription. One thing to keep in mind is that you won't receive cost share dollars until after the project is complete (on the timber side anyway).

I work for NRCS as a district conservationist. Before I get any hate, it's a good job, pays the bills, I get to work with farmers on a daily basis, and yes I pay taxes. Anyway, CRP is a farm service agency program and is pretty much dead. EQIP is a NRCS and is very much alive. Depending on your situation the program should pay about 50% of your cost. What parish are you in?
