I don't mind letting the cat out of the bag, each water station probably cost me somewhere between $1500-2000. I don't know exactly how much, because I haven't sat down and figured everything up yet, and USDA will pay me a grand total of $195 per waterer. That's to help keep the creek that I was using for water......when it had water in it......clean and keep the water downstream from being polluted.
Personally, I don't care to have to fool with USDA and all the paperwork, but this is how I look at it........I have paid taxes all my life, and watched it spent, NO...pizzed away, on things that mostly benefit some SOB, more likely than not, Black, who never worked a day in their life, so therefore has never contributed a dime to this country.
So, after thinking about that, I decided to put in for every program that I think would benefit me. I do not in least, feel guilty about it either.
