Agricultural organizations

 The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is an agency within the USDA that provides technical assistance to farmers, ranchers, and other landowners in managing and conserving natural resources. Established in 1935 as the Soil Conservation Service, the NRCS works to ensure sustainable agricultural practices that protect soil, water, air, and wildlife resources. The agency offers expertise in areas such as soil health, water quality, and habitat conservation, and it implements a variety of conservation programs, including the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP). The NRCS also plays a key role in helping landowners implement conservation plans that align with both environmental and agricultural goals. 

 The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is a federal executive department responsible for developing and executing federal policies on farming, agriculture, forestry, and food. Established in 1862, the USDA aims to provide leadership on food, agriculture, natural resources, and related issues based on sound public policy and the best available science. The USDA oversees a wide range of programs that support American agriculture, protect natural resources, promote food safety and nutrition, and assist rural communities. Key agencies within the USDA include the Forest Service, NRCS, Farm Service Agency (FSA), and the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The USDA also administers programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the National School Lunch Program. 

 The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is an agency within the USDA that provides financial and technical assistance to farmers, ranchers, and agricultural producers. The FSA's mission is to stabilize farm income, help farmers conserve land and water resources, provide credit to new or underserved farmers, and help farm operations recover from the impacts of disasters. The FSA administers several important programs, including farm loans, commodity price support programs, and conservation programs. The agency also plays a significant role in disaster assistance, providing relief to farmers and ranchers affected by natural disasters. The FSA works to ensure a stable and secure food supply while supporting the economic viability of agricultural communities.
