 In 1951, the SCS developed the Land Capability System. By using factors such as flooding frequency, slope, rockiness and clay or sand content, the best use for the soil can be estimated. National Cooperative Soil Survey standards assure the soil survey data is consistent with the Land Capability Classification System.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.dnr.missouri.gov/magazine/2002-03_winter/Soilsurvey.htm | title = Missouri's Soil Survey: 100 Years in the making | author = Georganne Bowman | author2 = Bill Pauls | publisher = Missouri Department of Natural Resources | date = May 11, 2006 | accessdate = 2006-07-01 | url-status = dead | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20041201003942/http://www.dnr.missouri.gov/magazine/2002-03_winter/Soilsurvey.htm | archivedate = December 1, 2004 }}</ref>
-During the [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] administration much of the [[United States Department of Agriculture|Department of Agriculture]] was reorganized. In 1952, all soil survey work by the USDA was consolidated and responsibility for Federal leadership in the National Cooperative Soil Survey partnership was given to the SCS. This included all mapping, classification, interpretation, laboratory services, map compilation  and nationwide publication. The Bureau was then abolished and Kellogg became head of the USDA soil survey program.

 After being assigned the responsibility of the entire soil survey program, the SCS shifted from making individual conservation plan soil surveys and land use maps to making complete county soil surveys. This reorganization did not set well with some universities and individuals that had been involved in the soil survey program up to that point.  From 1899 until this time a number of agencies, both state and federal, had financial support to perform soil survey work. The consolidation of soil survey activities (and funding) into the SCS program was a hard pill for many to swallow.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://cropsoil.psu.edu/research/PDF/AS144.pdf | title = Pennsylvania Soil Survey: The First Hundred Years | author = Joseph J.
