EQIP Provides Landowner with Incentive to
Permanently Adopt Residue Management
Chip Clanton farms 700 acres in Lee County, along with his good
friend David Holland, whom he’s known since high school. “David was
always a straight-A student, so I knew he would make a great business
partner,” remarked Clanton, who farms full-time. Together, the farming
duo produces soybeans, corn, and wheat. Clanton worked with NRCS
Conservation Program Manager Lori Bataller in the Lee County USDA
Service Center to establish field borders, filter strips, and implement
residue management with financial assistance through the Environmental
Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). By establishing a protective cover
crop of rye, Clanton is preventing soil erosion and improving soil
health by adding organic matter. Also known as crop residue management,
the practice is one of the most important conservation tillage factors
for improving soil’s physical and chemical properties.

The purpose and passion for conservation is shared among many. It is
shared between NRCS employees and partners who help people help the land.
And it is shared by the landowners with whom we work. Our passion is
manifested through the benefits derived from stewardship of private
lands--benefits we all enjoy, such as cleaner water and air, improved soils and
abundant wildlife habitat.
Learn about our stories, the stories of conservation made possible through a
shared purpose, a shared passion and a shared commitment to conservation.
