Windbreak Renovation Funds

The Papio-Missouri River NRD and the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) have funds (up to $3,500 per acre) available to assist landowners with the expense of renovating aging or storm damaged shelterbelts and windbreaks.

To apply for these funds, landowners must complete a PMRNRD Conservation Assistance Program application and an EQIP application. EQIP applications must be received by October 16, 2015 in order to be eligible for the upcoming ranking.  Both of these applications are available in the NRD/NRCS field office in the USDA Service Center in Tekamah, 539 S. 13^th Street. For more information contact Deb Ward, NRD Program Assistant or Loren Ehlers, NRCS Resource Conservationist at (402)374-1920 ex. 3.
