Our local person said they don’t pay for end walls or plastic or shipping, but they also don’t need the bill.
This is crazy. They want compliance and success for the program. It makes no sense at all to ask a recipient to settle for less than a complete package, with delivery and assembly budget.   Really, Is this person actually employed by the NRCS? Doesn't sound like it.
I guess your state could be playing tight ass but I haven't heard of anything like what you are describing.

I am approved for an NRCS high tunnel this year.  I get along with our local person, but we are not communicating well on this.  Can someone tell me please, is it a flat $2.40/sq ft up to 2178 sq ft?  or is it based on actual costs up to $2.40/sq ft up to 2178 sq ft?  The one I am looking at is frame only, not end walls, not including plastic, and is less than the $2.40/sq ft.  Our local person said they don’t pay for end walls or plastic or shipping, but they also don’t need the bill.  They would like to know the costs for their analysis.  I don’t want to ask again, but the answer influences how long a tunnel I get.

 

Thank you to those with experience.  This is New York, but I assume this is a national rule.
