## Incentive Payment Practices -- Regular EQIP

All practices will be paid for at a flat rate. A practice may be paid
for up to 3 years, except for Prescribed Grazing and Strip Cropping,
which may be paid 1 year only. There is a \$10,000 cumulative limit per
eligible recipient per practice. There is no limit to the number of
different Incentive Practices for which a participant can receive
payment. Payment is not authorized for a practice that a participant has
