The document discusses Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) programs. RC&D programs were established over 40 years ago by Congress to empower rural communities to help themselves through tools and technical support provided by the USDA. Local RC&D councils made up of volunteers work on annual plans to address issues like natural resource protection, economic development, and partnerships. The Fun Country RC&D area covers 10 counties in Oklahoma and works on projects in areas like agriculture, tourism, renewable energy, and rural infrastructure.
