NRCS Announces 2019 Deadlines For Conservation Assistance Funding

Staff Reports

On Monday, Feb. 4, the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Texas announced the first funding application deadline of March 15, 2019, for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).

The second funding application deadline is scheduled for May 10, 2019. NCRS programs accept applications year round; however, deadlines are set to rank and fund eligible conservation projects.

Producers interested in signing up for EQIP can submit applications to their local USDA Service Center or can submit online via Conservation Client Gateway (CCG) if already a USDA client. 

EQIP is a voluntary program that provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers. Technical assistance is provided without a fee from NRCS specialists to help landowners and land managers plan and implement conservation practices to help them meet their land management goals, address natural resource concerns and improve soil, water, plant, animal, air and related resources on agricultural land and non-industrial private forestland.

For additional information visit the NRCS Texas website. Applications for EQIP are accepted on a continuous basis. Producers interested in EQIP can contact their local USDA service center or visit www.tx.nrcs.usda.gov.
