This time Matt speaks with Erin Brooks and Morgan Bennetts of the United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) about a voluntary program, the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), meant to provide financial and technical help to farmers and ranchers who make an effort to improve soil, water, plant and animal life, and air quality.
The program is a significant game changer for folks who live the country lifestyle. Matt has used this program on his own property to help pay for irrigation and livestock projects.
