EQIP Bridge Loan Program

/in

​The Soil Health Opportunities & Tools Fund (SHOT Fund) EQIP Bridge Loan program provides landowners and farmers with flexible funding to cover the upfront costs of installing USDA Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) practices. Designed specifically for recipients of NRCS EQIP awards, these bridge loans have no fees, no penalties, and no interest. EQIP participants must pay for the entire cost of practice installation upfront and out-of-pocket, and these loans help them do so. EQIP recipients in designated Midwest, Southeast, and Southwest states are eligible for specified conservation practices. The program is managed by Food System 6.
