About Kentucky Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)

Updated 08/21/2008

NRCS assists landusers and landowners with conserving their soil, water, and other natural resources.   Local, state, and federal agencies and policymakers also rely on our expertise.   We deliver technical assistance based on sound science and suited to a customer's specific needs.   Cost shares and financial incentives are available in some cases.   

Kentucky has a strong conservation partnership with numerous conservation agencies throughout the state.  Our partnership, which includes 121 soil and water conservation districts, provides service to every county in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

NRCS Vision                  Productive Lands – Healthy Environment

We envision a productive, sustainable agricultural sector in balance with a high-quality environment. Productive use of the Nation’s cropland, grazing land, and forest land is essential to the Nation’s security and the health and well-being of its citizens. These lands form the foundation of a vibrant agricultural economy that provides food, fiber, forest products, and energy for the Nation. These lands also produce environmental benefits that people need – clean and abundant water, clean air, and healthy ecosystems.
 

NRCS Mission               Helping People Help the Land

We provide products and services that enable people to be good stewards of their soil, water, and related natural resources. With our assistance, people are better able to conserve, maintain, or improve their natural resources.
