What is the State Technical Committee?

The NRCS State Conservationist chairs the State Technical Committee in their respective state. The State Conservationist is responsible for the committee’s organization and for providing leadership, support services, and technical direction to the committee.

In turn, the State Technical Committee advises the NRCS State Conservationist on the technical guidelines necessary to implement the conservation provisions of the Farm Bill. Committee membership includes representatives from federal and state conservation agencies, agricultural producers, nonprofit organizations and agribusiness.

State Technical Committee meetings are open to the public and are held on an as-needed basis, and are called by the NRCS State Conservationist.
