National Resources Inventory
The NRI is a longitudinal sample survey based
upon scientific statistical principles and
procedures. It is conducted by the U.S.
Department of Agricultures Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS), in cooperation with
Iowa State Universitys Center for Survey
Statistics and Methodology. Between 1982 and
1997, NRI data were collected every five years
for 800,000 sample sites nationally, and at
about 1,300 in West Virginia. Since 1997, data
have been collected annually at about 25 percent
of the original sites.
