By promoting good farming techniques that help keep soil on the fields and waters clean, each soil and water conservation district is conserving the productivity of Missouri’s working lands and water quality to benefit the public, landowners, agriculture-based businesses and industries.

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources administers millions dollars to Missouri’s agricultural landowners to implement conservation practices to protect the state's soil and water resources. In addition, revenues from the Parks, Soils and Water Sales Tax allowed Missouri to have the highest reduction in its rate of soil erosion when compared to other states with more than 10 million acres of cultivated cropland.
