again thanks one and all for your answers to date.
1. We learn first and refresh what we have done in the past for the BLM and FS.
2. We have talked with a couple of CG about working with me on them, which one said he would, if I did not over load him and he could not go fishing. Thats why he pulled the plug this week after 35 years of being an appraiser. My other CG said he would help when he could. But for now his company has him working in Canada on a new loan program for that county. When he state side he would help with reviewing or if I could reach him with question via internet and cell phone.
3. We have notified the Agency today that we would be interested and gave them our resume and work history. They sounded happy that I would accept. They had most of the information on me that had been sent from DC. Because they invited me to come aboard I feel good about going in. Told them I wanted to get the courses and reviews out of the way first.
With this now and a couple of other things that has come my way, I see real soon that there will be no more dealings with the MB in the lending process. I can still keep my fingers in the appraisal business and work my ranch.

I believe that you find that the Forest Service requires appraisals to meet USFLA not USPAP. This also includes land exchanges. One that comes to mind for me was when the city of Ft. Smith needed to expand Lake Ft. Smith by raising the dam and that would have taken some forest land. So, the City bought an equally valuable tract in Benton County 30 miles north next to the Natl Forest there. This exchange was not a taking. The buyer willingly sold the property upon solicitation. The city traded that tract for the land flooded on Federal land. The citizens adversely affected by the raising were condemned and their land taken..adversely. Those appraisals too had to comply with USFLA because federal money was funding some of the cost of raising the dam.
