Making community improvement, maintaining a safe, quality water supply, and increasing recreational opportunities are all challenging actions. Often these actions are more challenging in rural Oklahoma. One opportunity to support these actions is through the USDA--Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Program. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) administers the program and RC&Ds work through a council of local citizens to find resources to benefit these rural communities. Oklahoma has 9 authorized RC&D areas serving 75 of the state’s 77 counties.

RC&D councils set their own goals and objectives, but most aim to accomplish the following:

• 
  Develop land and water resources for agricultural, municipal, and industrial use, recreation and wildlife.
• 
  Improve local and extended marketing of crops, livestock and forest products
• 
  Improve infrastructure of rural communities
  
• Promote improved rural standards of living through economic and rural development
