Sandhills RC&D Resource Assessments

The goal of the resource assessment for RC&Ds is to provide information on natural resources within the RC&D, as well as economic and recreation information.  The data found within these profiles were collected through the Census of Agriculture, numerous Nebraska State Agencies, and Nebraska NRCS statewide databases on conservation practices.  The profiles are designed to be use as a tool to help RC&Ds identify conservation opportunities and direct technical and financial resources to the appropriate areas.
