January 15 Set as Deadline for USDA Program

Landowners and farmers in Hardin County and across Ohio have until Friday, January 15, to apply for the state’s Environmental Quality Incentives Program.

EQIP, a service of the United States Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, encourages producers to conserve their resources in a manner which best fits them.

Hardin County farmers have received over six million dollars in the past five years through EQIP.
