Services
We help ranchers navigate
government programs.
Everything on this site is free and always will be. But if you want hands-on help with your specific operation — someone who's been through the process and can walk you through it — that's what this is for.
Who we are
We run a cattle operation in Oregon. We've navigated EQIP, CSP, FSA loans, and disaster programs on our own ranch — and we've helped neighbors do the same. We know the process because we've done it, not because we read about it.
This isn't a big consulting firm. It's ranchers helping ranchers.
What we help with
Program Assessment
We look at your operation and tell you exactly which programs you qualify for, what they're worth, and which ones to apply for first.
Application Support
EQIP applications rank higher when they're written well. We help you put together an application that matches your local NRCS priorities and scores well.
NRCS Meeting Prep
Your first meeting with NRCS can feel intimidating. We prep you on what to bring, what to ask, and what to expect so you walk in confident.
Program Stacking Strategy
Most producers use one program. We help you layer EQIP, CSP, FSA loans, state cost-share, and tax strategies so you capture everything you're eligible for.
Ongoing Management
Contracts have reporting requirements, renewal windows, and transition opportunities (like moving from EQIP to CSP). We help you stay on top of it.
How it works
01
You tell us about your operation
A phone call or email — acreage, livestock, what you're trying to improve, what you've applied for before.
02
We identify what you qualify for
We assess your eligibility across all relevant programs and estimate the dollar value.
03
We help you apply
From gathering documents to writing the application to prepping for your NRCS meeting.
04
You get funded
When the contract comes through, you build the fences, drill the wells, and improve your operation — with USDA covering most of the cost.
Pricing
Every operation is different. We'll give you a clear quote after we understand your situation — no surprises and no pressure. If we don't think the service is worth it for your operation, we'll tell you that too.
The free guides on this site cover 90% of what most producers need. This service is for people who want someone in their corner handling the details.
Want to talk about your operation?
No commitment. We'll tell you what you qualify for and whether it makes sense to work together.
