With the severe weather surprising many communities in Wisconsin, it's important that farmers and land owners know the NRCS is there.

Terry Cosby is the Chief of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and was in Madison for the Sand County Foundations National Conservation Symposium.  Cosby has been with NRCS for over 4 decades, but continues to try and help people better understand all the functions and programs that they offer.

Cosby also noted that from wildfires to flooding, NRCS plays a critical role in immediately responding to needs, as well as supporting rebuilding and reinforcement of infrastructure after weather events.
