[QUOTE]Originally posted by squeeky: [QB]NRCS in my area is a totally useless entity. Not only did I get no consideration for cost share, but the local office here in NE Texas has been irresponsible, unprofessional, and lackadaisical in their dealings with me.
NRCS in my parish must be staffed by the same people. I called them before I started digging my pond and asked for a soil survey. THey told me they didn't have to, because they "know the soil makeup down to 100 feet in my area," and I could dig as deep as I wanted with no danger of contacting the water table. (Yea, right. In south Louisiana??) At 7 feet, I started hitting water. I went to seek their advice and the first thing out of their mouths was "Well you should have come here FIRST before you started digging and asked for a soil survey!!" I just walked out. The NRCS offices in the two parishes adjacent to me are exactly the opposite. GReat folks to deal with but they are limited to how much they can do because of jurisdictional issues.
