County Level Program Implementation Description - FY 2009

Extension to Application Sign-up Cut-off and Ranking Announced

Oklahoma NRCS State Conservationist Ron Hilliard has announced an extension of the EQIP ranking cutoff period to April 1, 2009. This will expand the opportunity for producers to apply for conservation payments under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for fiscal year 2009. New rules have been under development for the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, or 2008 Farm Bill. With the publication of the interim final rule, 2009 program activities can now be initiated. All applications received prior to the ranking cut-off date of April 1, 2009, will be considered for the 2009 program funding.
