The Clinton Field Office; called USDA Service Center includes the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), who works in partnership with the DeWitt County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) in promoting, protecting, maintaining and improving soil, water and natural resources within DeWittt County.

With Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) advice, landowners select the best combination of conservation practices to meet natural resource needs and individual management goals. We use a network of technical specialists including engineers, biologists, soil scientists, water quality specialists, community planners and soil conservationists in providing this assistance. We also provide the following:

• Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)
• Wetland Reserve Program (WRP)
• Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP)
• Forest Land Enhancement Program (FLEP)
• Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program(FRPP)
