New Satellite Image Crop Maps Available for Nebraska The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) has released satellite image maps depicting crop patterns in nine states for the years 2002 and 2003. These images, referred to as the Cropland Data Layer, can be used in geographic information system (GIS) applications. Crop maps are available for Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, North Dakota, Nebraska, Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri (boot heel only), and Wisconsin. When the satellite image maps are used in a GIS and combined with other data layers such as soil, transportation networks, or weather contours, they can be helpful in watershed analysis, soils utilization over large areas, and crop rotation analysis. A CD-ROM is available for each state for $35. No individually reported data from any farm is included or derivable from the CD-ROM. This aligns with NASS policy to strictly protect the confidentiality of farmer reported data. To order, visit the NASS Web site at www.usda.gov/nass/ and click on Statistical Research, then Cropland Data Layer. For additional information, call USDA's Nebraska Agricultural Statistics Service at 1-800-582-6443.
