Text Box: Oklahoma Conservation Commission The Oklahoma Conservation Commission provides assistance to Oklahoma’s 88 conservation districts and to the public in order to foster a sense of care, wise use and best management of Oklahoma’s renewable natural resources. Text Box: Natural Resources Conservation Service The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is a federal agency that works hand-in-hand with the people of Oklahoma to improve and protect their soil, water and other natural resources. For decades, private landowners have voluntarily worked with NRCS specialists to prevent erosion, improve water quality and promote sustainable agriculture. Text Box: Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts Oklahoma is facing what many are calling the worst drought since the dust bowl.  Weather this is true or not, Oklahoma and most of the southern plains are in a major dry cycle.  Every day brings another drought related story; wildfires, low lake levels, no rain; everything except massive dust storms.  Why? The answer:  the farmers and ranchers of the southern plains! Text Box: Oklahoma Association of Resource, Conservation & Development is a non-profit, tax exempt organization.  It is supported, in part, by USDA-NRCS. The Oklahoma RC&D gets things done.  Whether it's working with natural resource issues or community development, RC&D brings people together to accomplish the  goal.  And this is being done all across our great state.  So take a look around.  You're sure to see the difference that RC&D is making. Text Box: National Association of Conservation Districts The voice of our nation’s 3,000 conservation districts and 17,000 men and women who serve on their governing boards. Working with landowners, other organizations and agency partners, districts have helped protect our soil, water, forest, wildlife and other resources for over 60 years. Text Box: Farm Service Agency Stabilizing farm income, helping farmers conserve land and water resources, providing credit to new or disadvantaged farmers and ranchers, and helping farm operations recover from the effects of disaster are the missions of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency (FSA). Text Box: National Watershed Coalition The NWC is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) Coalition (F.E.I.N. no. 84-1142882) (Dun & Bradstreet Number, DUNS, 09-053-1299) made up of national, regional, state, and local organizations, associations, and individuals, that advocate dealing with natural resource problems and issues using watersheds as the planning and implementation unit. Text Box: Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension Services Cooperative Extension Educators are housed in every county, where they work side-by-side with residents to address local issues and concerns. County personnel can call upon State, District, and Area Extension Specialists who develop programs based on research-proven, objective information to help Oklahomans solve problems, promote leadership, and manage resources wisely.
