The Macoupin County Soil & Water Conservation District shares an office with the Natural Resource Conservation Service. The NRCS is the federal technical agency for getting a variety of conservation practices on the land. The District is headed by a board of five local farmers who establish priorities for addressing the conservation needs of Macoupin County. The District has a variety of education programs and is quite adept at gathering information to answer a number of landowner concerns. The digital and hard copy soil survey is available at the office free of charge. The office also sells plat books.
