<p>The Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act (RCA) provides broad natural resource strategic assessment and planning authority for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The purpose of the RCA is to ensure that USDA programs for the conservation of soil, water, and related resources are responsive to the long-term needs of the Nation. This site supports the RCA by providing data from a variety of sources, including data on the status and trends of natural resources, conservation efforts (funding and conservation practices applied), and the agricultural sector. Reports can be created at the State, Regional, or National level. Regional data reports are available for the USDA Farm Production Regions, and Conservation Effects Assessment Program (CEAP) publications are available by CEAP regions. Options for Conservation Programs, or summary reports from the National Resources Inventory (NRI), the Economic Research Service (State level only), and the Census of Agriculture (State level only) can be selected. Reports can be downloaded as CSV files that can then be opened in spreadsheet software such as Excel, or viewed directly online with graphics as HTML or PDF. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: RCA Report - Interactive Data Viewer.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/rca/national/technical/nra/rca/ida/">https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/rca/national/technical/nra/rca/ida/</a> </p><p>The interactive map interface provides access to data from a variety of sources, including data on the status and trends of natural resources, conservation efforts (funding and conservation practices applied), and the agricultural sector.</p></li></ul><p></p>
