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. 

EQIP is a competitive program using a combination of statewide and county criteria to fund the most environmentally beneficial projects. Periodically, all current applications are batched and ranked.

The initial Ranking date will be completed on December 22, 2006 - January 27, 2007.

All sign-ups are conducted at USDA Service Centers in Delaware.
