COLUMBIA, MO, November 14, 2002 – Missouri landowners interested in the
Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) are asked to go to their local
USDA Service Centers to apply for program benefits or to obtain detailed
information about EQIP.
EQIP is a voluntary conservation program that promotes agricultural
production and environmental quality. Through EQIP, farmers and ranchers receive
financial and technical assistance to help install structural conservation
practices and to implement management systems that promote conservation.
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service administers EQIP, and will
rank all applications. Projects will be approved based upon their score and
available funding. Landowners who applied for EQIP before October 1 also need to
contact their local NRCS offices to renew their applications.
