NRCS Conservation Programs
Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)
The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is a voluntary program that provides financial
and technical assistance to agricultural producers through contracts up to a maximum term of ten years
in length. These contracts provide assistance to help plan and implement conservation practices
that address natural resource concerns to improve and conserve soil, water, plant, animal, air
and related resources on agricultural land and non-industrial private forestland. EQIP also helps
producers meet Federal, State, Tribal and local environmental regulations.

Financial Information
The Financial Information section presents data from the USDA Office of the Chief
Financial Officer's Financial Management Modernization Initiative (FMMI) system and
its predecessor, the Foundation Financial Information System (FFIS). The Financial Information
presented here is Total Obligations which the Government Accountability Office defines as
binding agreements (orders
placed, contracts awarded, services rendered, etc.) that will result in outlays,
immediately or in the future. Before obligations can be incurred, budgetary resources
must be made available by Congress. The obligations displayed for each year are the total
obligations reported as of the end of each fiscal year. Subsequent adjustments after the
close of the fiscal year are not included.
There are three categories of Total Obligations presented below:
- Technical Assistance (TA) Obligations
refer to the scientific expertise, natural resource
data, tools, and technology that USDA NRCS personnel provide to help producers, landowners,
and communities develop conservation plans and implement conservation practices to solve
natural resource problems at the field, operation, or larger landscape scales. NRCS is the
lead agency for providing technical assistance for USDA.
- Financial Assistance (FA) Obligations
refer to the commitment of funds to contracts for payments that will be made to program
participants for implementing conservation practices, which can provide both on-site and
off-site conservation benefits.
- Reimbursable funds can be used to provide Technical or Financial Assistance,
but are received from sources other than NRCS. They can also be transfers from or agreements with
other Federal agencies.

Contracts
NRCS enters into EQIP contracts with eligible producers or landowners willing to implement conservation practices. By entering into a contract, the producer or landowner agrees to apply specified conservation practices, and NRCS obligates funds to provide technical and financial assistance for planning and applying these conservation practices. EQIP contracts can be up to ten years in length. The table below reports the number of active or completed EQIP contracts signed during each contract fiscal year, and the acres associated with those contracts. For example, for a ten year contract signed in contract year 2009, funds are obligated in fiscal year 2009, and conservation practices may be applied using those funds during the 2009-2019 fiscal year time period.
The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) Maps page contains maps illustrating contracts enrolled, acres treated, and financial assistance obligated by state and year.

Conservation Practice Implementation
Conservation practices are planned and applied
at the land unit level. The land unit is the smallest unit of land that has a
permanent or contiguous boundary, a common land cover and land management, and a common owner or a
common producer. The following tables include data for the fiscal years since enactment of the 2008 Food,
Conservation, and Energy Act (Farm Bill) in 2009.
As conservation practices are measured in different units (acres, feet, square feet, etc.),
the challenge for reporting performance at various levels is how to aggregate across practices.
Although practices may affect resources beyond the land unit boundary, or be applied only on part
of the land unit, the land unit does provide a common metric to aggregate over practices since each
applied practice is associated with a specific land unit. Analysis of the data reveals that most
practices are measured in acres and most of the practice applied amounts match the land unit acres
of the field on which the practice was applied. Therefore, land unit acreage is the metric on which
the acres of land receiving conservation treatment are calculated.
The data presented in this section reflect the fiscal year in which conservation practices were
applied, which can occur at any point during the duration of the
EQIP
contract.
Totals presented here are not comparable to program enrollment acres or contract acres.
Land Unit Acres Receiving Conservation
The following table summarizes land unit acres by fiscal year.
Here, land unit acres are counted once when the program has been used to apply one or
more practices on that land unit in a given fiscal year. Therefore, land unit acres
may be counted multiple times across fiscal years.

• Data Source: USDA-NRCS, National Planning and Agreements Database, November 2015.
• Caribbean includes Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.
• Hawaii/Pacific includes Hawaii and the Pacific Basin.
• Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across fiscal years.
Land Unit Acres Receiving Conservation by Practice
The following set of chart/table combinations present conservation practice data grouped by purpose:
Cropland Soil Quality, Fish and Wildlife Habitat, Forest Land Conservation, Grazing Land Conservation,
Irrigation Efficiency, Water Quality, and Wetlands.
Any practices not included in one of these groups are
included in an All Other category. Data for practices in the All Other category can be
downloaded
in the Farm Bill Conservation Programs Profile csv file.
Note that there is some overlap between these groupings, since some practices address
multiple resource concerns. Here land unit acres are counted each time
a practice is applied on that land unit in the fiscal year. Therefore land unit acres may be
counted multiple times across practices, practice groupings, and fiscal years.
To learn more about specific conservation practices, see the
National Handbook of Conservation Practices.
Conservation Practices Related to Cropland Soil Quality
The following chart and table includes practices that are related to Cropland Soil Quality Management.
The six components of soil quality management are: enhancing organic matter, avoiding excessive tillage,
managing pests and nutrients efficiently, preventing soil compaction, keeping the ground covered, and
diversifying cropping systems. Choosing specific practices within each component depends on the
situation since different types of soil respond differently to the same practice. Each combination
of soil type and land use calls for a different set of practices to enhance soil quality. Note that only
practices applied on cropland or hay land are included.
Only practices representing a significant portion of the total for the period are included in the above chart. Practices not included are summed into the All Other category.

Conservation Practices Related to Irrigation Efficiency
The following chart and table includes practices that are related to Irrigation Efficiency.
The goal of these practices is to assist in properly designing, installing and maintaining
irrigation systems to ensure uniform and efficient distribution of water, thereby conserving
water and protecting water resources. Note that pumping plant (533) installation is only counted
when applied on cropland or hay land.
Only practices representing a significant portion of the total for the period are included in the above chart. Practices not included are summed into the All Other category.

Conservation Practices Related to Water Quality
The following chart and table includes practices that are related to Water Quality.
Water quality is an indicator of the health of our environment and reflects what occurs on the
land. The primary water quality issues from agriculture are sediment, nutrients,
pesticides, pathogens, and in some parts of the country, salinity. Using conservation practices
to improve land in an environmentally sound manner will result in better water quality for drinking,
recreation, wildlife, fisheries and industry.
Only practices representing a significant portion of the total for the period are included in the above chart. Practices not included are summed into the All Other category.

Conservation Practices Related to Wetlands
The following chart and table includes practices that are related to Wetlands.
Healthy wetland ecosystems function to modulate drought and floods, provide wildlife
habitat, filter pollutants, retain sediment, store carbon, and cycle nutrients. The
goal of the wetland conservation practices is to restore, enhance and protect the
quality and quantity of wetlands.
