FY-2003 Conservation Program Allocations to States
These maps show the amounts distributed to
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) State offices for operating four
conservation programs in fiscal year 2003: Environmental Quality Incentives
Program, Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program, Wetlands Reserve Program,
and Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program.
These programs were reauthorized in the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act

other landowners plan and implement conservation measures to solve natural
resource concerns on their operations, maintain and improve agricultural land,
and protect the environment.
