<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I was working via email, gratis, with a couple who applied
for the grant several years ago. It was denied. The reason given was
the owners "handicapped" accessible improvements overlapped the qualified
agricultural improvements. A clear distinction between the two usages was
emphasized. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>They did find, after a number of phone calls, someone with
the USDA who was tasked with explaining to applicants the fine points of the
process. She failed to mention the accessible clause but was otherwise very
helpful. </FONT></DIV>
