| NRCS Technical Guide |
Technical guides are the primary technical
references for NRCS. They contain technical information
about the conservation of soil, water, air, and related
plant and animal resources.
Technical guides used in each field office are localized
so that they apply specifically to the geographic area
for which they are prepared. These documents are
referred to as Field Office Technical Guides (FOTGs).
The FOTG is maintained in each NRCS field office as a
compilation of technical knowledge, resource data
references and conservation practice standards.
Appropriate parts of the Field Office Technical Guides
are automated as databases, computer programs, and other
electronic-based materials such as those included in the
web pages at
E-FOTG -Electronic Field Office Technical Guide for
Illinois. |
