How are projects selected for a site visit?
Projects are considered for a site visit based on the pool enrollment. Grassland and conservation tillage projects require a site visit for a minimum of 10% of the contracts within the pool each year, which should be minimum of 10% of the enrolled acres. Rangeland projects require a site visit for 10% of the enrolled acres within the pool for rangeland contracts less than 10,000 acres and for every ranch that exceeds 10,000 acres. Subsequent (year 2 and onward) verifications are required for 25% of the contracts and 10% of the acres (regardless of size) within the pool.
