Although the Montgomery County SWCD focuses on assisting producers in farm planning, education, conservation practices and cost share through conservation programs, we also offer help in many other areas.
Soil Survey Information
The district has a completed soil survey book for Montgomery County and we are able to reproduce soils maps and information as needed and answer any questions you might have about the tendencies of your soil. You may also visit http://www.websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/.
Topographical Maps
You may also access the topographical maps for Montgomery County in our office. The maps show contour lines and symbols that represent such features as streets, buildings, streams, swamps and woods.
Soil Sampling
Information about soil testing is available at the Conservation District office. Whether it is a wildlife food plot, a farm field, or a garden, soils information is ESSENTIAL. Soil sample boxes are available at the office, and for a small fee, we can send them in for you. Don’t understand how to read soil test results? Let us help!
