EQIP provides financial and technical assistance to farmers and ranchers to implement conservation practices that improve soil health, water quality, and wildlife habitat on working agricultural land. Payments cover a portion of the costs for installing conservation systems such as cover crops, nutrient management plans, and irrigation efficiency. Priority is given to projects addressing resource concerns in high-priority watersheds.
Answer each question — we'll show you exactly what applies to your situation.
Are you an eligible farmer, rancher, or agricultural producer?
Do you have an eligible conservation practice need identified in the EQIP application?
Do you control the land where practices will be applied?
What is your annual household income?
This program has a fixed annual limit. Count household income from wages, self-employment, benefits, retirement, child support, and other recurring sources.
Your annual amount must be at or below:
$900,000/year
$75,000/month · $17,308/week
Is your annual household income at or below $900,000?
Not required: prior EQIP participation, but the land must not already have the practice fully funded by another program?
