Technical Resources

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for accessing the NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) technical resources specific to engineering and design for conservation practices in North Dakota. Users can find valuable reference materials including handbooks on channel design, hydrology, and irrigation. By navigating the eFOTG (electronic Field Office Technical Guide), users can download important documents such as the Engineering Field Handbook and Agriculture Waste Field Management Handbook, which cover various engineering subjects essential for planning and construction in agricultural contexts.
