Each participant is requested to provide the Natural Resources Conservation Service with the past two years of IRS records and any other information to verify meeting the Limited Resource Farmer criteria as outlined in the Farm Bill.

This information will verify Gross Farm Sales (IRS Form 1040; Schedule F, Farm Income Section) and total household income which is defined as Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) on IRS Form 1040.

Exceptions: In lieu of IRS Form 1040, the Gross Income and Adjusted Gross Income can be verified by a certified public accountant, registered accountant or an attorney of the participant’s choice.

District Conservationists responsible for the above contracts are to notify the selected participants that data is required to be in their office no later than March 6, 2007.

After the necessary documents for the spot checks have been delivered to the Service Center, the District Conservationist is to notify Alice Love, Soil Conservationist, to verify data via email (alice.love@al.usda.gov) or phone (334) 887-4550 no later than March 12, 2007. Any questions in relation to this process will be directed to Alice Love, Soil Conservationist at (334) 887-4550.
