The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), nestled in Rogersville, TN, is an agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) with a rich history dating back to 1935. Originally established as the Soil Conservation Service to combat the devastating effects of the Dust Bowl, the agency underwent a transformation in 1994, evolving into NRCS to better address a wider array of conservation challenges.
NRCS is dedicated to partnering with farmers, ranchers, and private landowners to foster sustainable land management practices that protect and enhance natural resources. Through a range of programs like the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), the agency provides invaluable technical and financial assistance to promote soil health, water quality, and wildlife preservation, ultimately striving to balance agricultural productivity with environmental stewardship.
