Got my letter the other day telling me I need to go in and pay a "measurement fee" to check compliance for enrolling CRP land coming out in 2007. Not sure what that's all about so I'm going in and pay the "ransom" I guess. If I understand the letter right...they will go by the original EBI for ground coming out in 07'- 10'.
Wondering how long it will take to find out if one's ground will be re-enrolled or not?

Here's an FSA link also...

I was told it would cost $45 plus $1.00 per acre for the measurement/compliance fee.
We can pay the fee now and sign whatever is involved right now, but they don't even have the paperwork to really start the whole process. They have until September to do their part. Compliance means checking for weeds, pests, etc., however I was also told that they will be overwhelmed, so I expect that much of the measuring/compliance checks will be cursory at best.
