Payment Schedules
NRCS provides financial assistance for selected conservation activities. The availability and amount of financial assistance can vary between states.
Each year, NRCS re-evaluates the amount of financial assistance available for each activity 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.
Disclaimer: NRCS provides financial assistance for selected conservation activities. The availability of conservation practices, conservation practice standards, practice scenarios, and the amount of financial assistance can vary between states.
