NRCS provides financial assistance to help agricultural producers make and maintain conservation improvements on their land.. The availability and amount of financial assistance can vary by state. Download the Massachusetts payment schedules below to see which conservation practices are 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.
