The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), nestled in Middletown, NY, operates under the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Since its inception in 1935 as the Soil Conservation Service during the aftermath of the Dust Bowl, the agency has been instrumental in aiding farmers, ranchers, and private landowners in conserving and managing natural resources. In 1994, it evolved into the NRCS to broaden its scope and mission.
Providing a blend of technical expertise and financial support, NRCS plays a pivotal role in advocating for sustainable practices that bolster soil health, water quality, and wildlife habitats. Through initiatives like the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), NRCS endeavors to strike a balance between enhancing agricultural productivity and safeguarding the environment, marking its enduring commitment to preserving our natural resources.
