General Program Description
Environmental Quality Incentive Program Overview
The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is a voluntary
conservation program administered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation
Service. EQIP supports production agriculture and environmental quality as
compatible goals. Through EQIP, Delaware farmers may receive financial and
technical help to plan, design and install structural conservation practices and
to plan and implement management practices on eligible agricultural land.
Environmental Quality Incentives Program Sign-up Underway
A statewide EQIP sign-up for agricultural waste management, integrated crop
management, irrigation water management, erosion control, grazing land
management, biodiversity, and poultry house windbreaks is currently underway.
Two pilot programs on Long Term No-Till and poultry litter amendments are
funded again this year.
EQIP is a competitive program using a combination of statewide and county
ranking systems to fund the most environmentally beneficial projects.
Periodically, all current applications are batched and ranked.
The initial batching date was December 16, 2005. The second batching date
will be January 20, 2006 and the third batching date is
February 24, 2006. Based on past experience, all available EQIP funds of $6,000,000 will be obligated during the first and second rankings.
All sign-ups are conducted at
USDA Service Centers in Delaware.
