The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is a voluntary conservation program administered by USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service. It provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers and forest landowners.
Submit an application at any time through your local USDA Service Center. NRCS accepts applications on a continuous basis, with periodic ranking cutoff dates.
NRCS conservation planners work one-on-one with you to understand your operation and develop a comprehensive conservation plan tailored to your land and goals.
Applications are ranked based on environmental benefits, cost-effectiveness, and local resource priorities. Higher-ranked applications receive priority for funding.
If selected, sign an EQIP contract and begin implementing approved practices with NRCS technical guidance and financial assistance throughout the process.
