i'm thinking the NRCS Office might be busy applying for new jobsI have some CRP contracts that expire this year. Applied to renew as soon as they would take applications. Applications were due June 6. Haven’t heard anything. Has anyone?
I remember reading somewhere that Rollins' long term goal is to just have everyone file applications and paperwork through an online portal, which is fine for younger farmers, but the older ones are going to struggle with that piece. In the article below, OMB also is saying they want to get rid of most/all of the county offices and run things through the state committees.There are a few offices in Iowa that could close.

I do the majority of my paperwork online. I work with two different counties. One office requires appointments and one doesn’t. The one that doesn’t serves two counties.I remember reading somewhere that Rollins' long term goal is to just have everyone file applications and paperwork through an online portal, which is fine for younger farmers, but the older ones are going to struggle with that piece.

I'm the same- almost everything I do is online (NC Iowa). I have land in 2 different counties, but moved all of the farms over to one so at least I don't have to deal with 2 offices. I can see it being a struggle for some in the older generation to manage a portal.I do the majority of my paperwork online. I work with two different counties.

Note- live in southern Iowa

Not rocket science. We’ve done it since 2001 on anything we have bought/inherited.yes, I think so. someone mentioned them to me in case I bought some land and rented it out.
