[December 16, 2021]    Yes, the holidays are here, but so are the technical conservation programs and financial assistance you need to put customized solutions on your farm. The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) are ready for you. These programs can help you plan, install, and pay for practices that address soil erosion or other problems you may face.

Maybe you need a typical practice like a grassed waterway or a terrace. Or maybe you’re itching to try a denitrifying bioreactor or start trying out no-till for better soil health. No matter. Local staff at NRCS is ready to help make it happen.

The first batching period for fiscal year 2022 is January 7, 2022. That means it’s time to submit your application or have a conservation conversation with your District Conservation to see what you will need.

Depending on what county or counties your farmland is located in, there may be special programs, projects, or watershed efforts to help you qualify for even more.

Visit the Illinois NRCS website here and check out all the news releases to learn more. Or call your District Conservationist today.
