Have you heard about the USDA-NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)?  NRCS works one-on-one with producers to develop a conservation plan that outlines conservation practices and activities to help solve on-farm resource issues. Producers implement practices and activities in their conservation plan that can lead to cleaner water and air, healthier soil and better wildlife habitat, all while improving their agricultural operations. EQIP helps producers make conservation work for them. Financial assistance for practices may be available through EQIP.

Highlighted below are just a few of the practices available through EQIP that have been implemented in Henry County.

NRCS is an agency committed to “helping people help the land”—our mission is to provide resources to farmers and landowners to aid them with conservation.

Did you know that our office is happy to provide free technical advice to all landowners in Henry County? Our soil conservationists can meet with landowners and provide free technical advice for erosion problems that will help conserve, maintain and improve our natural resources.

The Paris NRCS & Henry County SWCD had a great time at the 2024 Henry County Farm Fest.   Around 400 fifth grade students from Inman, Harrelson, Lakewood and Henry schools attended the Farm Fest at the Henry County Fairgrounds.  Each student was gifted a Henry County SWCD backpack full of goodies.  

We are always grateful for the opportunity to teach students about agriculture & conservation in Henry County!
