Agency Minimum Salary $40,286.40 Agency Maximum Salary $46,000.00 About the Agency In 1938, the Mississippi legislature officially recognized that our soil resources were deteriorating at an enormous rate and that this was being caused by misuse or improper use of the land and the lack of applied conservation treatment or measures. It further recognized that if this were allowed to continue, the results would be disaster.
In its effort to solve the problem, which was primarily soil erosion, the legislature enacted the Soil Conservation Law (currently Soil and Water Conservation Law), in which it created the State Soil Conservation Committee (currently the Mississippi Soil and Water Conservation Commission) and made provisions whereby each county could organize a soil conservation district (currently soil and water conservation district).
The Mississippi Soil and Water Conservation Commission is a state agency, and a soil and water conservation district is a subdivision of state government.
