The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is an agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture committed to aiding farmers, ranchers, and private landowners in preserving and overseeing natural resources. Originating in 1935 as the Soil Conservation Service during the aftermath of the Dust Bowl, its name was changed to NRCS in 1994 to encompass a broader mission. By providing technical and financial support, the agency promotes sustainable techniques that boost soil health, water purity, and wildlife habitats.
Through initiatives like the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), NRCS endeavors to bolster agricultural efficiency while safeguarding the environment. Situated in Evergreen, AL, NRCS plays a vital role in encouraging responsible land management practices and fostering a harmonious relationship between agriculture and nature.
