The key to the RC&D program is the process. It
is a process of planning, coordination and
cooperation that makes RC&D so successful.
Committees are established and led by local
volunteers. All available resources—natural,
human, technical, and financial—are considered
and figured into the project formula to obtain
maximum results. By building public/private
partnerships, Great Plains RC&D makes the
best use of limited resources.
