Missouri Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) FAQs

How is an RC&D organized?

An RC&D area covers several counties. RC&D areas include adjacent counties that have substantial natural resources to use for economic improvement and community betterment. Sponsors apply to the USDA Secretary of Agriculture for authorization. Once authorized, the USDA is commiteed to providing both financial and technical assistance.

RC&D areas can increase and decrease in size. New counties may join or charter counties may decide to join other areas. USDA must approve all requests for expansion.
