I. PRODUCER & LAND ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION
1 Is the applicant an agricultural producer that is engaged in livestock or agricultural production? Yes
(Applicant may be asked to: 1) show documentation of a minimum of $1000 or more of agricultural products produced
and sold for the past year - if not, then records from 2 of the past 5 years may be used; 2) show an IRS Schedule F form
showing profit or loss from farm operations; or 3) certify that he/she is engaged in agricultural production for subsistence
purposes - food and fiber is produced as the primary source of family consumption and use, or it is used in barter and
trade.)
2 Does the applicant have an interest (i.e., share in the profits and losses) in the farming operation Yes
associated with the land being offered enrollment in EQIP?
3 Is the applicant in compliance with the highly erodible land and wetland conservation compliance Yes
provisions?
4 Is the applicant within appropriate payment limitation requirements? Yes
(Participant cannot receive EQIP payments from 2002 or newer contracts exceeding $450,000.)
5 Is the applicant in compliance with the Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) requirements? Yes
(No individual or entity with an average adjusted gross income of over $2.5 million for the preceding 3 years may receive
EQIP payments, unless 75% of that income is from farming, ranching, or forestry interests.)
6 Is the land being used to produce agricultural commodities or livestock by the sign-up deadline? Yes
(As of sign-up deadline, only land being used to produce agricultural commodities or livestock, for use as food or fiber, is
eligible. Land planned for expanding existing cropland and rangeland is not eligible.)
7 Does the applicant have continuous control of the land for the contract period? Yes
(Contract period may be from 2 to 10 years ending somewhere between 9/2007 to 9/2015.)
8 Does the applicant have permission from the landowner to implement practices on the land? Yes
(Concurrence letter from the landowner must be received by the last day of the sign-up period, if land is leased.)
9 If the land is currently enrolled in another conservation program, is it eligible under EQIP? Yes
(EQIP does not pay for the same practice on the same land; land enrolled in CRP may only be offered for enrollment in
EQIP during the last year of the contract and no EQIP practices shall be applied on that land until after the CRP contract
has expired or has been terminated; and EQIP practices do not defeat the purpose of either EQIP or the other
conservation program.)
10 If the applicant requests cost-share assistance for irrigation related practices, has the land been Yes
irrigated for two of the last five years prior to application for assistance?
If all 10 questions are answered "yes," go to the Section II - Pre-Screening; Applicant is eligible. If any question is not
answered "yes," stop; Applicant is ineligible.

contamination of ground or surface waters, at-risk species habitat, ground and surface water conservation, or invasive
species.)
If question #2 is answered "yes," stop; application is considered low priority. If question #2 is not answered "yes," go to
Section C - Medium Priority.
C. Medium Priority
