How much record keeping does the NRCS want in exchange for this program?

[QUOTE=BigVanVader;686026]No idea, I will check. Thanks for the heads up. He put me down for 100x30 and said if I went smaller I could use the rest elsewhere. Seems like he is trying to help me at least.[/QUOTE]

That's sounds a little off.
You tell them what size, and they write the contract for that size. Once you sign it, you are obligated to build that size. If you can do it for less than what the payment is, you keep the difference.
