Welcome to the NRCS Oregon state web site.

The conservation provisions of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act
of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill) offer new opportunities to shape our Nation’s
landscape through the improved management of our natural resources. The
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is currently working on
new and revised program rules based on the 2008 Farm Bill. New
information on the following Farm Bill programs and provisions has
recently been made available in the Federal Register. |

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) welcomes Ron Alvarado as the new State Conservationist for Oregon. Alvarado is responsible for NRCS private lands conservation activities in the state, including provisions in the recently enacted 2008 Farm Bill.
Alvarado oversees approximately 200 employees, mostly field conservationists with varied technical specialties working in every county. These conservationists work one-on-one with landowners and others, providing voluntary technical and financial assistance to those interested in protecting and enhancing soil, water, and related natural resources on non-federal lands through a watershed approach.
“NRCS works closely with farmers and ranchers to ensure that our programs and services work here in Oregon,” Alvarado explained. “Our role is to provide voluntary conservation planning and technical assistance at the local level.”
