Local Conservation Priorities
Each county's NRCS Local Working Group sets the conservation practices that score highest for EQIP funding. Knowing your county's priorities before you apply can significantly improve your ranking.
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 Atoka County, Oklahoma, Choctaw County, Oklahoma, Johnston County, Oklahoma, Marshall County, Oklahoma, Fannin County, Texas, and Grayson County, Texas. Ranking criteria and cost-share rates can vary county by county even within the same state.
