Environmental Quality Incentives Program in Arkansas

Arkansas x 10.912 is an EQIP join, not a farm census

This page pairs CFDA 10.912, ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY INCENTIVES PROGRAM, with Arkansas place of performance. The Environmental Quality Incentives Program, in program language, is a USDA NRCS listing that cost-shares conservation practices with agricultural producers. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $299,036,069.66 on 7,227 awards. The extract does not list producers, acres treated, or practice types. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state needs the program more, and not a claim that 7,227 awards equal that many local offices.

Other NRCS listings — Conservation Stewardship, ACEP easements, or different EQIP-related codes — sit outside $299,036,069.66 unless they also carry 10.912. Mixing EQIP with Conservation Stewardship or ACEP would invent a combined NRCS figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and local need statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Place of performance as Arkansas locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $299,036,069.66 in the state treasury, and it does not prove every dollar stayed inside Arkansas after subawards.

7,227 awards behind $299,036,069.66

Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible annual runs, modifications, and producer-level contracts. It is not a census of farms or a count of practices installed. Mean obligation is about $41,377.62 if $299,036,069.66 were divided evenly across 7,227 lines — a mechanical ratio across a high-volume file, not a typical payment published by the agency.

7,227 lines cannot be narrated one by one. Sort the Arkansas 10.912 overlay by amount to see whether a few large rows dominate or the total is spread. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Environmental Quality Incentives Program in Arkansas for the stored table. Do not convert 7,227 into a map of Arkansas providers. The $299,036,069.66 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Questions

How much EQIP funding is obligated in Arkansas?

USAspending.gov shows $299,036,069.66 in obligations for CFDA 10.912 with Arkansas as place of performance, across 7,227 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not the state's entire federal-spending total. Other USDA listings are outside this join unless they also carry 10.912.

Do 7,227 awards mean 7,227 Arkansas farms received EQIP?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of farms or a count of practices installed. The packet does not name recipients. See the Arkansas 10.912 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Does this include Conservation Stewardship in Arkansas?

No. The join is CFDA 10.912 crossed with Arkansas place of performance. Related programs on other CFDA numbers are not inside $299,036,069.66 unless the award also carries 10.912. Mixing EQIP with Conservation Stewardship or ACEP would invent a combined NRCS figure the packet never computed.

Is the EQIP total already spent on Arkansas practices?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $299,036,069.66 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Completed activity and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
