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.
Overview
Description:
The 2018 Farm Bill introduced EQIP incentive contracts to expand resource beneļ¬ts 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.
Eligibility:
For more information about EQIP, how to apply and program eligibility, interested applicants should contact a NRCS field office in the county which you own land or where you have an agricultural operation.
Financial benefit:
No
