Since 1996, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service’s (NRCS) Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) has been helping producers apply conservation practices that are environmentally beneficial to the land. Since then, NRCS has entered into hundreds of thousands of contracts and provided over $15 billion in financial assistance to help agricultural producers apply conservation practices.
For decades, producers across the nation have been helping to take care of the environment through the implementation of NRCS recommended conservation practices funded by EQIP and NRCS’s Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP). Common practices producers have implemented under EQIP and CSP include prescribed grazing, cover crops, crop rotation and residue and tillage management.
