Conservation Programs for Farmers | Pierre News

Farmers and ranchers in South Dakota have a big opportunity to boost land health and get financial support through USDA programs—EQIP, CSP, and ACEP—with applications due September 29, 2026. Plus, a targeted RCPP project focuses on upgrading irrigation systems in the Belle Fourche District to improve efficiency and soil health. All programs are voluntary and offer funding plus expert guidance to tackle water quality, soil resilience, wildlife habitat, and more.
