Friday Is Deadline For Farmers, Ranchers To Apply For EQIP Funds

November 19, 2014

Florida farmers and ranchers can apply through Friday for financial assistance in fiscal year 2015 through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) to improve soil, water, air, plants, animals and related resources.

Through EQIP, the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) develops contracts with agricultural producers to help plan and implement conservation practices that address natural resource concerns. Eligible land includes cropland, rangeland, pastureland, private non-industrial forestland and other farm or ranch lands. The application process for conservation programs is continuous, but funding selections are typically made once a year.

For more information, contact the Molino Field Office at (850) 587-5404 ext. 3, visit the office at 151 Highway 97 in Molino, or click here.
