Montana Payment Schedule
NRCS provides financial assistance for selected conservation practices. The availability and amount of financial assistance can vary between states. Download the Montana payment schedules below to see which activities qualify, and how much financial assistance is available.
Payment Rates
Each year, NRCS re-evaluates the amount of financial assistance available for each practice in each state. These evaluations consider the current costs for material and labor within the state, and also the fair marketplace compensation for opportunity costs that may arise (e.g. conversion of productive land). If necessary, the amount of financial assistance is adjusted to keep pace with actual costs.
New for fiscal year 2025, technical service provider rates will be determined by the actual costs associated with work completed by a certified Technical Service Provider (TSP), not to exceed the rates listed in the payment schedule.
