NRCS Colorado Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) - 2006

-NEW-   NRCS has extended the deadline for completing environmental projects to qualify for the EQIP energy cost assistance until December 29, 2006. The energy conservation initiative has been effective at offsetting energy cost increases, and accelerating the application of conservation practices. The deadline for completion of the EQIP projects had been September 1. The one-time payment adjustment is available only to program participants who signed EQIP contracts in 2004 or earlier and who have specific eligible EQIP structural cost-shared conservation practices that may have been delayed in being implemented due to increasing energy costs. For more information, contact your local USDA Service Center.

The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) was reauthorized
in the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Farm Bill) to provide a voluntary conservation program for farmers and ranchers that promotes agricultural production and environmental quality as compatible national goals. EQIP offers financial and technical help to assist eligible participants install or implement structural and management practices on eligible agricultural land. Additional information about this environmental improvement program can be found on the NRCS National Website.
