Our local agent needs to be fired for incompetence, if that is the case. Maybe the agent knows non-kit structures are not allowed, but is lying on the paperwork they submit, so the money will come through anyway? The agent came out and personally inspected the one high tunnel we build, then said an identical one would be covered under the grant.

It would be pretty funny to get the check this fall, and then next year get a bill for the same amount from the Feds, saying "whoops, we messed up. Now you owe us $10,000 plus interest, payable immediately, or you will go to Federal prison for defrauding the government."
