How to find your county's priorities:

  • Call your local NRCS office and ask: "What practices is the Local Working Group prioritizing this year?"
  • Ask which EQIP ranking pool your operation fits (there may be separate pools for livestock, cropland, forestry, etc.)
  • Check your state NRCS website for published ranking criteria

Bordering Counties

If your operation extends into or you compare conditions against adjacent counties, see Franklin County, Arkansas, Johnson County, Arkansas, Pope County, Arkansas, Scott County, Arkansas, Sebastian County, Arkansas, and Yell County, Arkansas. Ranking criteria and cost-share rates can vary county by county even within the same state.
