Missouri EQIP Forestry Allocations 2005 - 2010

Not only did the amount of EQIP (Environmental Quality Incentives Program) dollars available to Missouri forest landowners almost double compared to the previous year, but 100 percent of the applications were funded! The increase has been due to (1) forestry receiving a national focus at the Federal level and (2) the concerted effort of the forestry community here in the Show-Me State. Because of this, competition for funding in FY2011 will depend on how many landowners apply. If you are interested in financial assistancefor forest management practices, now is the time to sign up for EQIP. The next ranking period is just around the corner, with an anticipated November sign-up. Visit your local NRCS office for the latest information and to fill out an application.
