The primary objective of the Commission, districts, association and the USDA/NRCS is soil and water conservation. The organizations compliment and supplement each other by maintaining good communication, having common goals and priorities, and sharing available resources such as technical and financial assistance and equipment, material and resource data. The working relationship is mostly volunteer and requires the exercise of special skills of those involved. The working relationship with soil and water conservation districts is in a different setting because of the powers of the Commission related to the districts. The commission offers a wide range of assistance to districts but has very limited authority to direct district commissioners as to what they must do. The Commission's objective is to be a team player in carrying out a soil and water conservation program in this state.
