USDA Approved $18.3 Million for Limited Resource Farmers
NRCS approved 1,156 Environmental
Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) contracts with limited resource farmers and
ranchers in fiscal year 2004, covering nearly 436,000 acres, for a total of
$18.3 million. EQIP funds may be used to reduce soil erosion, improve water and
air quality, and protect grazing land. In fiscal year 2004, nearly one out of
every two limited resource producers applying for EQIP were funded compared with
only one out of every four for the rest of the program’s applications.
In Kansas, $48,538 were approved in 10 contracts with limited resource
farmers and ranchers.
