VOLUME 2. SUBJECT SERIES (AC92-S-1 TO 5)

Agricultural Atlas of the United States (AC92-S-1) graphically
illustrates a profile of the Nation's agriculture at the county
level in a series of dot and multicolor pattern maps.  The maps
provide displays on sizes and types of farms, land use, farm
tenure, market value of agricultural products sold, crops
harvested, livestock inventories, and other characteristics of
farms.


Coverage Evaluation (AC92-S-2) provides national- and
regional-level estimates on the completeness of the census, in
terms of both the number of farms missed and selected
characteristics of those farms.

Ranking of States and Counties (AC92-S-3) ranks the leading
States and counties for selected items from the 1992 census. 
Tables show cumulative percent of U.S. totals and most include
comparative data from the 1987 census.

History (AC92-S-4) provides a detailed description of the
planning and conduct of the 1992 Census of Agriculture.  It
explains the history of the agriculture census, farm definition,
data collection and processing, data dissemination, coverage
evaluation and research, and the census of agriculture in
outlying areas.  Also included are facsimiles of the report
forms, information sheets, and letters sent to the public.

The ZIP Code CD-ROM contains two separate ZIP Code products, the
1992 and the 1987 Farms by ZIP Code.  The 1987 Farms by ZIP Code
is the same product currently available on the "Agriculture
Specialty Publications and 1987 Public Use Files" CD-ROM.  Both
products are ZIP Code Tabulations of Selected Items from the
respective Censuses of Agriculture and provide tabulations by
five-digit ZIP Code for selected data items.  The data items
include total number of farms, land in farms, farms by size,
market value of agricultural products sold by size of sales,
livestock inventory, cropland harvested, selected crops, and
other data.  The 1992 Farms by ZIP Code has been expanded to
include a total of 209 data items.
