Emergency Conservation Program (ECP)
The Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) helps farmers and ranchers repair damage to farmlands caused by natural disasters and put in place methods for water conservation during severe drought.
Eligibility
For land to qualify for ECP funds, the damage from the natural disaster or severe drought must create new conservation problems that if not dealt with would:
Further damage the land
Significantly affect the land’s productive capacity
Represent damage from a natural disaster unusual for the area (an exception to this is damage from wind erosion)
Be too costly to repair without Federal assistance in order to return the land to agricultural production
U.S. Department of Agriculture
