The Environmental Quality Incentive Program - Conservation Incentive Contract (EQIP-CIC) combines eligible management practices with needed supporting practices across High Priority Areas (HPA) determined by the State Conservationist in Oregon. The 2018 Farm Bill introduced EQIP incentive contracts to expand resource benefits for producers for the implementation, adoption, management, and maintenance of incentive practices that effectively address at least one eligible priority resource concern within a State-identified high priority area. The focus for FY 2022 is on Climate Smart Agriculture and Forestry and drought mitigation. EQIP incentive contracts can be a steppingstone for producers between EQIP classic and Conservation Stewardship Program contracts without enrolling the entire operation.
