The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that focuses on conserving natural resources and promoting healthy ecosystems across the nation's lands. They provide science-based soil information to help land managers effectively manage and conserve their soil, and offer voluntary programs and solutions to assist farmers, ranchers, and landowners in conserving the country's resources.
The NRCS also provides technical assistance to producers, helping them identify conservation objectives and develop a roadmap for conservation on their operations. They apply engineering tools and principles to plan and implement conservation practices, and offer financial assistance through various conservation programs. Additionally, the NRCS addresses unique circumstances of historically underserved producers and supports organic and urban agriculture through their conservation efforts.
