NR 120.14(26)(a)(a) Description. Roofs for barnyard runoff management and manure storage facilities are a roof and supporting structure constructed specifically to prevent precipitation from contacting manure. This practice shall be implemented using the standards in par. (c).
NR 120.14(26)(b)(b) Conditions.
NR 120.14(26)(b)1.1. Cost-sharing may not be provided for materials and labor for other structures or buildings.

When the structure has a shape other than a rectangle or square, each rectangular or square portion of the total structure, excluding the common sides, shall be calculated separately to determine whether it exceeds 50%. A segment of the perimeter shall be considered a wall if greater than 50% of the opening from eave to floor is of solid building material.
NR 120.14(26)(b)2.b.b. An application requesting cost-sharing for the enclosure of a roofed barnyard runoff management system shall be submitted in writing to the department for its approval. The written application and the applicable cost-share agreement shall include a recognition by the landowner or land operator that the barnyard may not be used for purposes other than an animal lot for the duration of the cost-share agreement.

NR 120.14(27)(27)Livestock fencing.
NR 120.14(27)(a)(a) Description. Livestock fencing is the enclosure, separation or division of one area of land from another in a manner that provides a permanent barrier to livestock. The purpose of the practice is to exclude livestock from land areas that should be protected from grazing or gleaning where degradation of the natural resource will likely result if livestock access is permitted. This practice shall be implemented using one or more of the standards in par. (c).
NR 120.14(27)(b)(b) Conditions.
NR 120.14(27)(b)1.1. Cost-sharing may be provided for permanent fencing when fencing is needed to:
