Defending Against Drought Resources Available

With good planning, good management, and good information, farms and ranches can reduce the impacts of drought.  The Nebraska NRCS is working with farmers and ranchers to help them manage the affects of drought on their operations and their natural resources.  Visit the Nebraska NRCS Defending Against Drought Resources Page to learn more.
 

As one of the worst droughts in over 30 years continues to grip Nebraska, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) reminds producers who are participating in Farm Bill programs to work with the local NRCS office to remain in compliance with their current conservation plan on highly erodible land.  Learn more here...

 

Unlock the Secrets in the Soil

Soil is a living and life-giving substance, without which we would perish.

As world population and food production demands rise, keeping our soil healthy and productive is of paramount importance. So much so that we believe improving the health of our Nation’s soil is one of the most important endeavors of our time.

By focusing more attention on soil health and by educating our customers and the public about the positive impact healthy soils can have on productivity and conservation, we can help our Nation’s farmers and ranchers feed the world more profitably and sustainably – now and for generations to come.

Conservation... Our Purpose. Our Passion

The purpose and passion for conservation is shared among many. It is shared between NRCS employees and partners who help people help the land. And it is shared by the landowners with whom we work.

Learn about the stories of conservation made possible through a shared purpose, a shared passion and a  shared commitment to conservation.
