After submitting your application at your local USDA Service Center, a certified conservation planner will assist you in developing a plan to address the resource concerns on your farm. They will also work with you to complete a scoring worksheet for your application. Submitted applications are ranked, with the highest priority given to those applications with the highest score. Each county scoring worksheet was developed based on national, state and local resource concerns.

To find your Missouri county scoring worksheet, see Current EQIP Sign-up Information.

Information about each conservation practice that is eligible for EQIP financial assistance is available in the Missouri Program Policies. County cost data is located in the Field Office Technical Guide.  To view the data, click on the link below.  First click on your county of the map of Missouri.  Go to Select the “Section I”, then “Economic Data” and then “Average Cost Lists”.
