Link to Technical Standards in the NRCS electronic FOTG (eFOTG)
What is the FOTG?
Section IV of the Field Office Technical Guide (FOTG), contains the master list of Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil and water conservation technical standards for Wisconsin. This list is maintained electronically (the eFOTG) by the USDA NRCS. The technical standards are arranged by alphabetical order in Section IV.
The technical standards in the FOTG primarily focus on agriculture, but with the participation of the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), new areas of interest are being explored.
