Agricultural Air Quality Incentives Act of 2007 - Amends the Food Security Act of 1985 to direct the Secretary of Agriculture to:
(1) promote air quality by providing cost-share payments and incentive payments to individual producers to address agricultural air quality concerns; and
(2) provide cost-share payments to producers for mobile or stationary equipment (including engines) used in an agricultural operation that would reduce emissions of air pollutants and air pollutant precursors. Requires a project to be in a county:
(1) that is in nonattainment under the Clean Air Act with respect to ambient air quality standards for ozone, particulate matter, or both;
(2) in which there is air quality degradation to which agricultural emissions significantly contribute; or
(3) in which pesticide drift is a priority concern. Sets forth project priority criteria.
