Programs

• EQIP (Environmental Quality Incentives Program) - provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers to address natural resource concerns and deliver environmental benefits such as improving water and air quality, conserving ground and surface water, improving soil health and reduced soil erosion and sedimentation, improving or creating wildlife habitat, and mitigation against increasing weather volatility.

• CSP (Conservation Stewardship Program) - helps agricultural producers maintain and improve their existing conservation systems and adopt additional conservation activities to address priority resources concerns. Participants earn CSP payments for conservation performance—the higher the performance, the higher the payment.
