CAMPBELL COUNTY EQIP PROGRAM

How EQIP is being implemented in Campbell County:

The Campbell County Local Work Group has identified grazing land health and ground and surface water quality affected by animal waste as top priority natural resource concerns.

Grazing Land Health
This local priority supports the national priority to reduce soil erosion and sedimentation from agricultural lands.  

Grazing lands have been impacted by the ongoing drought thus diminishing sources of reliable livestock water.

Grazing lands impacted by fires in past years are in need of creative grazing management to allow for recovery of damaged lands and minimize soil erosion.

Applications for development of dependable livestock water and other practices that will protect damaged land will be given the highest priority. A functioning grazing system that is flexible and results in grazing distribution is an effective strategy to long term grazing land health.

Ground and surface water quality affected by animal waste 
This local priority supports the national priority to reduce non-point source pollution in impaired water bodies. Livestock operations needing assistance to improve water quality and to avoid regulation will be given the highest priority.

Eligible practices and cost share rates:

The local work group has approved the statewide practice list and cost share list.

A screening tool is being used to screen high priority applications from medium and low priority applications. A ranking sheet will then be used to determine the order of funding of high priority applicants.
