That is why, just 13 months ago, Congress increased conservation funding for EQIP in the farm bill baseline, which was a durable, long-term commitment that the money for working-lands conservation would be there. They sat down with a planner and built a conservation plan. The committee's bill diverts nearly $2 billion from an already deeply oversubscribed EQIP over the next four years, following a House-passed bill that shifted roughly $1 billion away from the same program. Farm country runs on the accumulated confidence that when someone tells you the money is there, the money is there. You do not get that back in a single farm bill cycle, and no amount of authorized funding substitutes for a producer's willingness to believe that the partnership in improving the resilience of American farmland is real.
