NRCS Question

[Homer75]

Anyone use this program before? I’ve got the ball rolling for my place but, the guy I’m dealing with said there was no difference between the Veteran farmer vs the beginning farmer.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. Some good programs. Fencing, pond building, land clearing, rotational grazing programs just to mention a few.

Is there any advantage over beginning farmer for being a veteran farmer or is there no difference? If there’s no difference, why is there an option?

Preference is given to veteran beginning farmer/rancher
