We are not allowed to cost share on tile as a field drainage practice. ***CRP Filter strips:As was mentioned before this was a very attractive program for some of our landowners. The United States Department of Agriculture-Natural Resource Conservation Service(NRCS) manages the program. According to their files we signed up 36.7 acres of filter strips in the Finley Creek watershed. These acres will be maintained for a minimum of 10 or 15 years. The cost to install these practices is very hard to determine after the initial cost-share because the landowner receives a$120— 190/ acre/year payment for the life of the contract. Needless to say the Feds put a lot of money into this program.

If you expand the soil saved over a 15-year period, which is the average expected life span of the installed projects, then we actually saved 166,788.45 tons of soil. This is equivalent to approximately 7,581 semi-trucks full of soil.
