BACKGROUND: The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture is mandated (through the Rural Development Act of 1972, the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act of 1977, and other supporting legislation) to assess the status, condition, and trends of soil, water, and related resources on the Nation's Non-Federal lands.

Core segments are visited every year, rotational segments are selected out of the NRI foundation (a pool of 300,000 segments in which an annual subset is statistically sampled from). The Remote Sensing Laboratories (RSLs) review these segments, verifying land cover and selecting those that meet the criteria for local data collection (where at least one point is interpreted as grassland, cropland, hay land or general sign up CRP). In Oregon, there typically between 600-750 segments assigned annually comprising 1200-1500 points. Based on the ratio of core to rotational segments, the number cleared by the RSLs will vary from year to year. Each segment contains one to three sample points upon which data are to be collected.
