Ohio Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D)
 

What is the RC&D Program?

In 1962, Congress passed the Food and Agricultural Act authorizing the Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) program. Administered by the United States Department of Agriculture, the purpose of the program is to expand opportunities for conservation districts, county governments and individuals to improve their communities in multi-county areas through the formation of regional non-profit organizations.
