Emergency Conservation Program for Agricultural Producers

Program Description
The Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) shares with agricultural producers the cost of rehabilitating eligible farmlands damaged by natural disaster. During severe drought, ECP also provides emergency water assistance - both for livestock and for existing irrigation systems for orchards and vineyards. Emergency cost-sharing is limited to new conservation problems created by natural disasters which would, if left untreated, render the land impaired or endangered. (Conservation problems that existed before the natural disaster are not eligible for cost sharing assistance.) ECP may be eligible in areas without regard to a President or Secretarial emergency disaster designation.

General Program Requirements
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be or have been a rancher or aquaculture operator who owns or controls farmland that has been impaired or damaged by natural disaster (including severe drought).
