Environmental Quality Incentives Program FY-2006 National Livestock Cost-Share Data
Updated
01/10/2007
This information is based on an
analysis of Fiscal Year 2006 Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) data
that was maintained by the Farm Service Agency (FSA). The contracts in the FSA database
are labeled by Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) field office
personnel at the time of contract development, indicating the primary resource
concern addressed. If that resource concern is livestock-related, the type of
animal is identified: beef, dairy, horses, poultry, sheep, swine, or other. The
conservation practices in the database were sorted into three categories: 1)
practices typically associated with confined livestock, 2) practices typically
associated with unconfined livestock uses, and 3) practices that could be used
with either confined or unconfined livestock operations. The purpose of the
information is to provide NRCS at the State level a tool to assist them, working
with State Technical Committees, to assess their use of EQIP funds and implement
strategies to allocate their program funds in a manner consistent with National
priorities and State and local resource concerns.
