The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) state conservationist for Alabama, Ben Malone, wants to remind landowners that the signup batching deadline for fiscal year 2019 for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and initiatives offered through the program is April 25, 2019. While that is the deadline for this specific batching period, Malone says all of the NRCS programs have continuous signup.
