TEMPLE, Texas – March 27, 2018 — The USDA-Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in
Texas has announced the first funding application deadline of April 20, 2018
for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).
Applications are taken year around for NRCS programs,
but deadlines are announced to rank and fund eligible conservation
projects. Producers interested in signing up for EQIP should submit applications to their
local USDA service center or if already
a USDA client, on-line via Conservation Client Gateway (CCG).
EQIP is a voluntary program that
provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers.
Technical assistance is provided without a fee from NRCS specialists to help landowners and
land managers plan and implement conservation practices to help them meet
their land management goals, address natural resource concerns and improve
soil, water, plant, animal, air, and related resources on agricultural land and
non-industrial private forestland.
For additional information visit the NRCS Texas website.
