  • EQIP/RCPP

    RCPP and EQIP are both USDA programs administered through NRCS and offer some of the highest payment rates. Often, the rates are similar, which is why we have them grouped here. However, RCPP rates can sometimes differ because RCPP is based on individual project areas within the state of Iowa.
