Farmers, ranchers and non-industrial forestland owners that suffered damage due to Hurricane Irma will have until Dec. 15 to apply for a special statewide incentives program. EQIP is available to help these producers treat crop, grazing and forest land damages caused by high winds, rainfall and floodwaters directly related to Hurricane Irma. The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) was announced this week by State Conservationist Terrance O. Rudolph of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Conservation Service.
