2009 West Virginia GRP Program Information
Updated 7/29/2009
The program offers several enrollment options:
Permanent Easement. This is a
conservation easement in perpetuity. Easement payments for this option equal the
fair market value, less the grazing value of the land encumbered by the
easement. These values will be determined using an appraisal.
Thirty-year Easement. USDA will
provide an easement payment equal to 30 percent of the fair market value of the
land, less the grazing value of the land for the period during which the land is
encumbered by the easement. For both easement options, USDA will provide ALL
administrative costs associated with recording the easement, including appraisal
fees, survey costs, title insurance, and recording fees. Easement payments may
be provided, at the participant’s request, in lump sum or annual payments (equal
or unequal amounts) for up to 10 years.
Rental Agreement Participants may
choose a 10-year, 15-year, 20-year, or 30-year contract. USDA will provide
annual payments in an amount of $7.00 to $10.00 per acre per year on the land
covered by the agreement for the life of the agreement. Payments will be
disbursed on the agreement anniversary date each year. Rental rates are
available in your local FSA office.
Restoration Agreement If
restoration is determined necessary by NRCS, a restoration agreement will be
incorporated within the rental agreement or easement. CCC will provide75 percent
of the cost on restoration agreements. Participants will be paid upon
certification of the completion of the approved practice(s) by NRCS or an
approved third party. Participants may contribute to the application of a
cost-share practice through in-kind contributions.
