Environmental Quality Incentives Program in Montana

What the 10.912–Montana join reports

CFDA 10.912 is titled ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY INCENTIVES PROGRAM. Crossed with Montana place of performance, the obligation sum is $175,962,142.46 on 2,427 awards. The national EQIP hub includes other states. Montana’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $175,962,142.46 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of acres treated near Billings, Great Falls, or Missoula.

Conservation Reserve, Conservation Stewardship, and other NRCS catalogs use different CFDA numbers. Mixing those into $175,962,142.46 would invent a broader conservation total than this cell contains. Packet facts are $175,962,142.46, 2,427 awards, MT, and 10.912. Correlation is not causation. Producer names are unpublished.

A high award count under Montana EQIP

Two thousand four hundred twenty-seven awards against $175,962,142.46 yield a simple mean near $72,502. That ratio is consistent with many cost-share instruments rather than a handful of large statewide grants, but the facts do not publish a median or a practice mix. 2,427 is a record count, not 2,427 farms and not 2,427 counties.

Treat the mean as arithmetic, not as a typical Montana EQIP contract. Without a transaction register on this page, you cannot see whether a row is a continuation, a practice payment, or a correction. Unique recipients are unpublished and are not invented here. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov for this 10.912 × MT pair.
