Plan conservation practices for long range programs
Farmers planning REAP cost-sharing should assess how long a conservation practice will be useful and maintained. Sherrer, executive director of the Pontotoc County ASCS, warns that failing to maintain a practice through its life span may require refunding cost-sharing unless caused by uncontrollable conditions or a change in operations such as shifting to livestock. He advises checking ahead for fit with future farming plans and notes relevance to 1972 set-aside programs where refunds may occur if coverage is disrupted or eligibility conditions are not met.
