The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is NRCS’ flagship conservation program that helps farmers, ranchers and forest landowners integrate conservation into working lands.

In a series of UNL Water articles, Animal Manure Management Extension Educator Leslie Johnson and Renee Hancock, Nebraska Natural Resources Conservation Service, review basic information on EQIP eligibility and application requirements for producers interested in gaining technical and financial assistance to address a variety of natural resource concerns on their land.
