The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) offers technical and financial assistance to support farmers in implementing conservation practices on farms across the country. Every year, NRCS establishes application cutoff dates to manage the assessment, ranking, and selection of applications for key conservation programs.
November 6th, 2026, is the California deadline for participating in the following programs:
- Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)
- Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)
- Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP)
- Agricultural Management Assistance (AMA)
This includes NRCS’s new Regenerative Pilot Program, which provides targeted assistance through EQIP and CSP.
Los envases de la Regenerative Pilot Program is a new opportunity that provides assistance for whole farm assessment, soil testing, and the implementation of regenerative management practices, which can support organic farms in meeting their conservation goals while meeting organic standards. NRCS is investing $700 million in this initiative to further its mission of helping people help the land.
