Texas agricultural landowners interested in participating in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) need to apply by Nov. 16 if they have not already done so to be eligible for the next round of funding.
"Although EQIP is a continuous sign-up program, some producers may not have signed up yet," said Don Gohmert, Natural Resources Conservation Service state conservationist for Texas. "We will rank all eligible applications received by Nov. 16 for 2008 funding."
EQIP promotes agricultural production and environmental quality. Ranchers receive financial and technical assistance to help install conservation practices and to implement management systems that promote conservation.
To sign up for the program, call the Wise County NRCS office at (940) 627-2268, Ext. 3 or visit the office at 1604 W. Business U.S. 380 in Decatur.
