How AI describes eFOTG (Electronic Field Office Technical Guide)

The Field Office Technical Guide (FOTG) is NRCS-USDA's primary, science-based reference for the conservation of soil, water, air, and related plant and animal resources, localized for each geographic area. It includes sections on general resources, natural and cultural resources data, planning criteria, practice standards, and conservation effects, with many parts available as databases and electronic tools. The guide supports NRCS field offices in planning and implementing conservation practices by providing standards, specifications, costs, regulations, and information on how practices affect resource concerns.
