EQIP (Environmental
Quality Incentive Program) Project Ranking
Begins
 The
Environmental Quality Incentive Program
(EQIP)
is a voluntary conservation program from the
Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS). EQIP provides
technical and financial assistance to assist
crop, livestock, and other agricultural
producers for eligible environmental and
conservation practices. Incentive payments
may be made to encourage a farmer to adopt
land management practices. This program
offers the opportunity to implement
traditional approaches but also to use less
traditional, alternative practices to
protect our soil, water and related
resources. Examples of EQIP Practices: *Waste Storage Facilities *Nutrient/Manure Management *Residue & tillage Management *Prescribed Grazing *Terraces and Waterways *Field Windbreaks *Wetland Restorations *Roof Runoff Structures *Water and Sediment Control Basins *Well Sealing *Seasonal High Tunnel System for crops and MANY more.......
