To be considered for current available funding, applicants should have their applications in to their local field office by Jun 20, 2025.

EQIP provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers to address natural resource concerns and deliver environmental benefits such as improved water and air quality, conserved ground and surface water, reduced soil erosion, sedimentation or improved or created wildlife habitats, and address soil health. Soil Carbon Amendment is a new practice being offered under EQIP.
