First EQIP Deadline Approaching

The EQIP, an NRCS program, provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers.

NRCS accepts and processes EQIP applications throughout the year. However, the USDA agency has established specific dates in 2012 where eligible applications will be evaluated and approved for funding. The next deadline is March 30, followed by June 1.

Three EQIP Initiatives may be of particular interest to value-added ag producers: (1) The On-Farm Energy Initiative, (2) Seasonal High Tunnel Initiative and (3) Organic Initiative.

MarketMaker is a national partnership of land grant institutions and State Departments of Agriculture.
