EQIP Applications are Being Accepted

The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is a voluntary conservation program that helps agricultural producers in a manner that promotes agricultural production and environmental quality as compatible goals. Through EQIP, you, as an agricultural producer, can receive financial and technical assistance to implement structural and management conservation practices that will optimize environmental benefits on your working farm or ranch land.
