RENO, Dec. 21 -- The Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) has received more than $8 million in financial assistance for the
Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for fiscal year 2013.
The funds help Nevada producers implement conservation practices under
the agency’s largest Farm Bill conservation program. Applications must
be received by Feb. 15 to be considered in the next round of funding.
“EQIP offers farmers, ranchers and forestland managers a variety of
options to conserve natural resources while boosting production on their
lands,” said State Conservationist Bruce Petersen. “This investment in
conservation helps improve environmental health and the economy of rural
communities in Nevada.”
EQIP provides financial assistance for a variety of conservation
activities, such as irrigation water management, rotational grazing
systems, pest control and much more. |

Soil is a living and life-giving substance, without which we would
perish.
As world population and food production demands rise, keeping our soil
healthy and productive is of paramount importance. So much so that we
believe improving the health of our Nation’s soil is one of the most
important endeavors of our time.
By focusing more attention on soil health and by educating our customers
and the public about the positive impact healthy soils can have on
productivity and conservation, we can help our Nation’s farmers and
ranchers feed the world more profitably and sustainably – now and for
generations to come.
The resources on this soil health section of our site are designed to
help visitors understand the basics and benefits of soil health – and to
learn about Soil Health Management Systems from farmers who are using
those systems.
So whether you’re a farmer, a researcher, a conservationist or an
interested citizen, the information on this site will help you “Unlock
the Secrets in the Soil.” |
