Kansas Payment Schedule

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.

Beginning in Fiscal Year 2025, the Associate Chief approved the authorization of County-level payment schedules (cost lists).  Cost lists are designed to mirror a county’s cost of living adjustment (COLA) increase. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which is responsible for developing COLA amounts at the beginning of the year, provides these figures. Program applications with majority of the acres located in a COLA county will utilize the COLA cost list. The 15 Kansas counties approved for COLA rates include Anderson, Atchison, Doniphan, Douglas, Franklin, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Leavenworth, Linn, Miami, Osage, Shawnee, Wabaunsee, and Wyandotte.

The updated payment schedule is released in the first quarter each Fiscal Year (Oct-Dec)
