The Idaho Natural Resources Conservation Service set a November 21, 2014, application deadline for the general Environmental Quality Incentives Program and special initiatives funded through that program. To be considered for fiscal year 2015 conservation program funding, agricultural operators must submit applications before November 21. 

 

Ron Brooks, Idaho NRCS EQIP manager said: "We accept applications for these programs on a continuous basis however, only the applications received by November 21st will be considered for funding this fiscal year. We will evaluate the applications received by this date and award contracts based on merit and available funds."

 

Here's Alexis Collins, Public Affairs Specialist: "Initiatives funded through EQIP include organic, on-farm energy, sage grouse, seasonal high tunnel, and soil health. Applications received after the November 21 deadline will be reviewed in the 2016 funding cycle."

 

The Environmental Quality Incentives Program helps agricultural producers complete resource conservation projects and make conservation-related management changes on their farms or ranches. Conservation program participation is voluntary and helps private landowners and operators defray the costs of installing conservation practices.
