Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)
This voluntary Farm Bill program offered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) supports agricultural producers and encourages environmental stewardship. We can help determine if you qualify for this special financial assistance.
You could qualify for financial assistance
EQIP helps ag producers offset the costs of implementing sustainable practices, including constructing an Accu-Steel building. It’s another way you can help ensure a sustainable future environment through air quality improvement, surface water conservation, increased soil health, wildlife habitat improvement, and more.

Justin understands your challenges and can help you modernize your operations without excessive labor or operational costs.
Accu-Steel and EQIP help ensure a sustainable environment
Accu-Steel fabric structures meet all EQIP requirements to help you achieve both short- and long-term goals for your operation. Whether you’re looking to improve air or water quality, or need a solution for soil conservation, we can help.
High-quality Accu-Steel buildings are engineered for challenging environments and can be specifically designed to help prevent mud and manure from contaminating natural water resources.
Our buildings can be configured specifically for manure containment practices, resulting in more responsible disposal to reduce the environmental impact.
You care about the land, and our fabric-building solutions can help you minimize erosion, preserve soil health for generations to come, and protect your legacy as a steward of the land.
Our rugged, fabric-covered structures deliver improved ventilation and promote better airflow. Odors are directed upward, minimizing spread to help reduce the number of odor complaints.
Our fabric structures are rugged and built to last, so they’re an ideal solution for protecting livestock from harsh weather. A protected, comfortable enclosure reduces stress, maximizes performance when margins are thin, and makes doing chores easier.

benefits producers
See how EQIP funding helped an Accu-Steel customer invest in sustainable solutions that resulted in long-term advantages for their operation — and the environment.
“With EQIP, the producer received funding to construct an Accu-Steel building and transform a lot into grass pasture. This immediately eliminated mud runoff and reduced odor complaints.”
