I don't think its a national rule. In Iowa I think the most they will
pay is $2.25 per sq ft and then only if you qualify as a "beginning
farmer". You also must buy a kit here, including plastic, end-walls,
etc. You can not buy the pieces and put them together.
If your office doesn't pay for plastic, end-walls etc they are either
misreading the rules or the rules are very different from state to
state.
