State Conservationist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Ser-vice (NRCS) announced today that NRCS has assistance available for producers in Kansas suffering from ongoing drought conditions. Drought recovery funding assistance will be un-der the Environmental Quality Incen-tives Program (EQIP).

This assistance will be available for land where any portion of the county has been designated a D3 (Extreme) or D4 (Exceptional) drought zone ac-cording to the U.S. Drought Monitor map as of May 27. Contact your lo-cal NRCS office for specific drought area designation.

Kansas has received an additional $300,000 drought recovery alloca-tion for existing unfunded EQIP ap-plications. This may be a source of additional assistance to producers to mitigate the short-term or long-term effects of the drought.

NRCS has grazing specialists that provide recommendations about

range and pasture management and options to consider for forage and water management.

EQIP offers financial and techni-cal assistance to eligible participants to install or implement structural and management practices on eligi-ble agricultural land. Conservation practices must be implemented to NRCS standards and specifications. In Kansas, socially disadvantaged, limited resource, and beginning farmers and ranchers will receive a higher payment rate for eligible con-servation practices applied. For ap-plicants wishing to install practices prior to receiving a funded contract, a waiver from the State Conserva-tionist must be obtained at the local USDA Service Center.

Additional information about drought resources is located on the Kansas NRCS drought Web site at www.ks.nrcs.usda.gov/techni-cal/drought/ or stop by your local USDA Service Center and visit the NRCS office.
