OUR HISTORY
-
Established in 1999 by a partnership of state, federal, and local
agencies and land-grant universities, the Delta Conservation Demonstration
Center (DCDC) was formed to serve as a “living, growing learning center”. Its
goal is to demonstrate agricultural practices designed to preserve and enrich
the environment while producing a positive economic impact for the farmer and
the region.
-
It is a
non-profit 501(C) (3) corporation with a Board of Directors that serves a
four-state Delta region including Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and
Tennessee.
-
The tools, training and resources provided by the DCDC are
available to anyone who is interested in learning more about sound conservation
practices. The DCDC is also used as a training site for USDA, state, and
private groups.
-
The DCDC works in cooperation with local, state, and national
agencies to provide a working model of Delta-specific conservation-oriented
practices on large acreage, on a long-term basis, and under farmer conditions.
-
It is a true partnership of growers, governmental agencies,
agri-business, and private citizens, working together to develop best management
practices and careful stewardship of two of our most valuable resources – our
land and water.
