It’s That Time of Year Again……
To sign up for cost share programs (like EQIP) with NRCS. Sign up before June 1 for 2009 funding. We don’t have any big changes, but continue to offer cost-share for typical practices like:
Cropland Practices – No-till, soil testing (including precision ag), legumes, alfalfa in rotation, saline seep, grass seeding, organic farming conversion
Rangeland Practices – Livestock water (pipelines, tanks, wells, spring developments), range renovation (chiseling), noxious weed control, prescribed grazing, fences.
Also included are certain windbreak renovation projects.
This list isn’t all inclusive, and we will attempt to solve conservation related problems on each farm/ranch by working with you individually. There will be a requirement this year to fill out a workbook which is basically an inventory of your operation so we can best help you with your conservation needs.
Remember, EQIP is for producers who are not already using these practices, but are ready to adopt them now. Stay tuned for programs that may fit your operation better if and when the new Farm Bill is approved.
For more information about EQIP contact NRCS in Plentywood at 406-765-1801 or visit the NRCS EQIP webpage at http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/eqip.
