Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) in New Jersey

NRCS accepts applications for all of our conservation programs throughout the year, but establishes funding periods to facilitate application review and contract development. The current funding period for EQIP will close on June 6, 2008, for the 2009 program.

EQIP is a voluntary conservation program administered by USDA-NRCS and funded through the Farm Bill.  Through EQIP, farmers may receive financial and technical help with structural and management conservation practices that address soil, water, air, forestry, grazing and animal waste issues on agricultural land.
