The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) assists agricultural producers who install conservation practices, such as planting vegetation along streams & installing waste storage facilities, to address impairments to water, air,& soil caused by agriculture or to conserve water. EQIP is managed by the USDA Natural Resources Conserv. Service (NRCS). NRCS allocates $1 billion in financial & technical assist. funds to states annually; $650 million of the funds are allocated through a general financial assist. formula. This report reviewed whether USDA’s process for allocating EQIP funds to states is consistent with the program’s purposes & whether USDA has developed outcome-based measures to monitor program performance.
