NRCS is an agency committed to “helping people help the land”—our mission is to provide resources to farmers and landowners to aid them with conservation.
Did you know that our office is happy to provide free technical advice to all landowners in Henry County? Our soil conservationists can meet with landowners and provide free technical advice for erosion problems that will help conserve, maintain and improve our natural resources.
It's harvest season and farmers are working hard to get crops out of the field. This means we'll see an increase of slow-moving farm equipment on the roads.
Please be extra cautious and patient when following and approaching tractors and other farm machinery.
Stay back, enjoy the scenery, and share the road! Our farmers are doing an important job for us!
The Paris NRCS & Henry County SWCD had a great time at the 2024 Henry County Farm Fest. Around 400 fifth grade students from Inman, Harrelson, Lakewood and Henry schools attended the Farm Fest at the Henry County Fairgrounds. Each student was gifted a Henry County SWCD backpack full of goodies.
We are always grateful for the opportunity to teach students about agriculture & conservation in Henry County!
