And NRCS is at a site near you! There is an office located in each of the 105 counties in Kansas. You can find your local office here: https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?state=KS. Technical experts are located at each county office and are familiar with that specific area and relevant rangeland management strategies. Specialists are located in each of the 4 area offices located around the state. Ecological site data, including soil data, is available for the entire state of Kansas.
