A neighboring farmer put one up last year with NRCS funding.  He got a Rimol.

I believe I have read that you get a cost share based on sq ft and they limit that to 2178 sq ft which is 5% of one acre.
I believe you buy what you want and it won't change the calculations they run. I may be wrong but I'm sure I've seen this in print.
I am certain they will not limit your expenditure but will limit theirs.  In other words, how much of your own money are you going to spend in the process of getting this grant.
These are the answers I was given when I asked the same question.

I suspect this question has probably been raised on the "high tunnels" list
serve but I do not recall seeing it here.  Does anyone know if NRCS has
approved funding on high tunnels that are moveable by sliding on runners or
rolling on pipe rails in a fashion similar to or equal to those Elliot
Coleman designed?
