Last summer I went into the USDA office in Columbia, TN, because I heard that there might be a program available to help distribute water to my pastures better. Because of the drought, all of my springs had stopped running and I was hauling city water to water troughs in my pastures for my cattle.
The lady there told me that there was indeed a program that provided for a partial reimbursement for well pumps and piping. It could be up to a 50% reimbursement. There were restrictions on it in that you had to use their approved pumps and had to have the system inspected by them, but if you did their stuff, you could get a reimbursement. The total cost of the project had to be about $2,000.00 to qualify.
I asked her for the paperwork and details about the program. She told me the same thing your gal told you. I had to put the system in and then apply for the reimbursement, and oh by the way, the program wasn't actually funded yet, but they expected it to be funded in next year's farm bill.
Thank you very much. Have a nice day. I continued to haul water until my springs started coming back. I'm still supplementing with city water since the springs aren't back to full strength yet.
