Through the National Water Quality Initiative, the Natural Resources Conservation Service will work with farmers and ranchers in small watersheds to improve water quality where this is a critical concern. NRCS will provide financial assistance to help farmers and ranchers implement conservation systems to reduce nitrogen, phosphorous, sediment and pathogen contributions from agricultural land. Eligible producers will receive assistance under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for installing conservation systems that may include practices such as nutrient management, cover crops, conservation cropping systems, filter strips, terraces, and in some cases, edge-of-field water quality monitoring.
