Then and Now: The Power of Agriculture

NRCS is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. We began our celebration by posting a blog and an interactive timeline about NRCS history and a video about how we’ve helped farmers over the years. We’ve also been sharing some historical photos on social media that show how our mission has changed and stayed the same over the years.

Now, we’d like for you to join us in our celebration. We’d like to hear your stories and see photos of your operation – Then and Now.

Does your agricultural operation have a fascinating history you’d like to share? Are there interesting stories about how your operation came to be or how it’s evolved? Do you have photos of your operation from its beginnings to the present day? If so, we want to hear from you!

Agriculture and conservation practices have changed a lot over the years. Advanced equipment and new technologies have made agriculture and conservation practices more precise and efficient. We’ve progressed from mule or horse-drawn plows to tractors, combines, and other high-tech machines – reducing manual labor and increasing productivity.
