Is anyone have any problems with the USDA Farm and Ranchlands Protection Program (FRPP)??

Answer 1

Not me, I don't have a problem with the USDS Farm and Ranchlands Protection Program (FRPP).

Why do you have a problem with the USDA Farm and Ranchlands Protection Program (FRPP)?

Answer 2

The FRPP is actually a very fine origination. I bought a small farm a few years back that had some bad soil erosion problems.  I sought out their help, I was looking for information, on getting the erosion under control.  They visited my farm and drew up a very complex program for the farm for controlling the erosion.  The problem was that it was a very expensive fix.  Much more than I could afford but they explained that they could pay 50% of the costs if we followed the program, so we set it up.  But the funds never became available for my farm.  It seems that  the larger more productive farms got the available funds.  We resubmitted the proposal for several years but never got the funding.  I was able to set up some of their suggestions on my own and have the erosion under control now so I can appreciate the knowledge that I received from them, but did not receive any funds which the FRPP is apparently designed for.
