Eligible producers in Tennessee who are interested in implementing conservation practices to improve natural resources on their agricultural land and private forestland have until Friday, Nov. 18, to submit their completed application to be considered for fiscal year 2017 funding. Funding is offered through the Natural Resources Conservation Service Environmental Quality Incentives Program. Eligible applications that are received after Nov. 18 will be considered during a later time and will be processed throughout the fiscal year, pending funding availability.“We accept applications for EQIP on a continuous basis to help eligible producers improve natural resources on private working lands in Tennessee,” said state conservationist Kevin Brown.
