Severance agreements will not be required if the borrower increases the down payment from 15 percent to 20 percent. For loans that exceed $50,000 or the borrower's aggregate outstanding loan balance exceeds $50,000, the borrower must be able to provide at least one of the following: A first lien on the real estate on which the facility is located; Real estate owned by the borrower other than where the facility is located, provided the real estate offered is sufficient to secure the loan; or An irrevocable letter of credit from a financial institution in an amount sufficient to protect CCC's interest for each year the loan has an outstanding balance. Facility Loan Terms. The following are the terms for farm storage facility loans: A 15 percent cash down payment is required; thus, CCC's loan is limited to 85 percent of the net cost of the eligible storage facility and permanent drying and handling equipment (subject to the applicant's storage needs test). The down payment cannot include any trade-in, discount, rebate, deferred payment, or post-dated check. Loan terms available are seven (7) years, ten (10) years or twelve (12) years depending on the amount of the loan.

TYPES OF ASSISTANCE: DIRECT PAYMENTS FOR A SPECIFIED USE USES AND USE RESTRICTIONS: Eligible owners or operators may place highly erodible or other environmentally sensitive land into a 10-15 year contract. The participant, in return for annual payments, agrees to implement a conservation plan approved by the local conservation district for converting highly erodible cropland or other environmentally sensitive land to a long-term resource conserving cover i.e., eligible land must be planted with a vegetative cover, such as, perennial grasses, legumes, fobs, shrubs, or trees.

Regardless of the method of enrollment, the local FSA office that serves the area in which the farm or ranch is located will provide the maximum payment rate CCC will accept to enroll certain acreage in the program. Producers may submit a rental rate per acre offered that may be equal to or less than CCC's maximum payment rate.

CRITERIA FOR SELECTING PROPOSALS: Not Applicable. 10.072 WETLANDS RESERVE PROGRAM (WRP) FEDERAL AGENCY: Natural Resources Conservation Service, Department of Agriculture Food Security Act of 1985, Title XII, Part Subtitle D, Section 1237, Public OBJECTIVES: To assist landowners in restoring and protecting wetlands on eligible lands on which they agree to enter into a permanent or 30- yearlong-term easement (30year contract for Indian tribes), or a restoration cost-share agreement with the Secretary. The goal of WRP is to maximize wetland functions and values and wildlife benefits on every acre enrolled in the program. Total acreage enrollment limitation is 3.041,2002,275,000 acres. TYPES OF ASSISTANCE: DIRECT PAYMENTS FOR A SPECIFIED USE USES AND USE RESTRICTIONS: Eligible landowners may offer farmed wetlands, prior converted wetlands, wetlands farmed under natural condition, former or degraded wetlands on lands that have been used or are currently being used for the production of food and fiber, including cropland, rangeland and forest production land, lands substantially altered by flooding, certain riparian areas, along with certain adjacent areas. The goal of the WRP is to achieve the greatest wetlands functions and values, along with optimum wildlife habitat on every acre enrolled in the program. At least 70 percent of the wetland and upland areas will be restored to the natural condition to the extent practicable; the remaining 30 percent of the project area may be restored to other than natural conditions. Enrollment options include permanent easements, 30-year easements, restoration cost-share agreements, and, for acreage owned by Indian Tribes, 30-year contracts. To be eligible for participation, land must be restorable and be suitable for wildlife benefits. Participating landowners must comply with the terms and conditions of their easement, agreement or contract for the duration of the document. For easement projects, landowners shall ensure the easement is superior to the rights of all others and shall agree to implement a wetland restoration plan designed to restore and maintain the easement area. Landowners must agree to a permanent retirement of crop acreage bases, allotments, and quotas to the extent that the sum of the crop acreage bases and allotments will not exceed the remaining cropland on the farm. Participating landowners receive financial and technical assistance to install necessary restoration practices as follows. Permanent easements: Easement duration is in perpetuity. Landowners receive an easement payment after the easement is filed. In addition NRCS shall share the cost of carrying out the establishment conservation measures and practices, and the protection of wetland functions and values including necessary maintenance activities to the extent that the Secretary determines that cost-sharing is appropriate and in the public interest. 30-year easements: Easement duration is 30 years. Landowners receive an easement payment after the easement is filed that is the equivalent of 75 percent of the value for a permanent easement and up to 75 percent of the eligible restoration costs. Restoration cost-share agreements: Restoration cost-share agreements are made available to participating landowners as an alternative mechanism to restore wetlands, without requiring the participant to sell an easement. Agreements are generally for a 10-year period, although longer agreement periods may be required for unique projects that are funded at a higher level. There is no easement payment; however, NRCS pays up to 75 percent of the eligible restoration costs. 30-year contracts: Acreage owned by Indian Tribes can be enrolled through the use of a 30-year contract which shall be equivalent in value to a 30-year easement. For both permanent and 30-year easements, WRP pays for all the overhead costs associated with recording the easement in the local land records office including recording fees, charges for title abstracts, surveys, appraisal fees, records searches, and title insurance associated with acquiring an easement. These overhead costs are generally not paid to participants but are provided directly to the vendor performing the service. Therefore, payments appearing on USDAspending.gov will be reflective of payments to participants and payments to vendors for services associated with restoration and management activities and administrative costs associated with recording an easement. Under Credentials/Documentation Eligible applicants must be in compliance with the highly erodible land and wetland conservation provisions in 7 CFR part 12 and the Adjusted Gross Income provisions in 7 CRP part 1400. They must be the landowner of the eligible land being offered for participation. For easement applications, the applicant must have owned the land for the 7-year period prior to the time the land is determined eligible for enrollment unless it is determined that the land was acquired by will or succession as a result of death of the previous owner; the ownership change occurred due to foreclosure and the owner of the land immediately before foreclosure exercises a right of redemption from the mortgage holder; or the land was acquired under circumstances that give adequate assurances, as determined by NRCS that such land was not acquired for the purposes of placing it in the program. Applicant Eligibility: An individual landowner, partnership, association, corporation, estate, trust, other business or other legal entities and, Indian tribe. Beneficiary Eligibility: An individual landowner, partnership, association, corporation, estate, trust, other business enterprises or other legal entities and, Indian tribe. Credentials/Documentation: The landowner must have owned the land offered for at least the preceding 12 months prior to the end of the period in which the intent to participate in an easement is declared unless the land was acquired by will or succession as a result of the death of the previous owner; or the Department determines that the new owner did not acquire such land for the purpose of placing it in the WRP.
