The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) is currently accepting applications until January 31st, 2025 for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP).

EQIP offers cost assistance for implementing conservation based agricultural practices, while CSP offers funding to help ease the transition to conservation management practices on farmland.

CSP has recently gotten a funding boost that more than doubles the minimum annual payments for contracts in the 2025 cycle.
