Welcome to the NRCS Texas state web site.

Real estate begins with soil. Soil characteristics determine a property’s
potential uses. For decades, soil surveys conducted by the
USDA-NRCS and its predecessors have provided a wealth of
information on soil properties in locations across the country. Farmers,
ranchers, engineers, developers, land-use planners, park and recreational area
planners, appraisers, homebuyers and homeowners all benefit from soil survey
data, which are valuable when planning property management strategies.

Texas has enrolled 904 new acres in the USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service’s Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP)
since May 2008. To date, more than two million acres have been
enrolled in WRP, nationally, helping exceed the Federal government’s
three-year goal of increasing the number and size of America’s
wetlands.

Communities that have suffered damage to watershed areas from
Hurricane Ike may be eligible for assistance from the USDA Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
NRCS’s Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program is designed to
reduce threats to life and property from watershed impairment, such
as erosion, debris, and sediment. These impairments can cause
additional flooding, soil erosion, and damage to infrastructure.
