You will have to show where/how the animals were getting water prior to EQIP. Perimeter fence is not cost shared. So basically you have to have a perimeter and water and animal grazing or feeding history on this farm.
This is what I was told as well when I had some marginal cropland I was converting over to pasture... The exact quote from the NRCS Staff person I worked with "We're not in the business of putting you in the business..."
We did write up an application for a project on another farm. Almost 3 years ago and it still hasn't been approved. I just keep telling them to resubmit every time the application period opens back up. I almost think they make you play a waiting game to see if you'll just get tired of waiting and do it yourself. I'm too stubborn for that!!!
