There are 25 categories of data which include information about farms, crops, livestock, values of products, and farm operator characteristics. This is a revised version of the April, 2000, data set. Purpose: These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of these data.

Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Great Lakes areas were deleted. Aleutians East Census Area (FIPS 02013), Aleutians West Census Area (FIPS 2016), Bethel Census (FIPS 02050), Bristol Bay Borough (FIPS 02060), Dillingham Census Area (FIPS 02070), Kodiak Island Borough (FIPS 02150), Lake and Peninsula Borough (FIPS 02164), Nome Census Area (FIPS 02180), North Slope Borough (FIPS 02185), Northwest Arctic Borough (FIPS 02188), and Wade Hampton Census Area (FIPS 02270) were combined into Western Coast and Chain Area (FIPS 02010). Anchorage Area (FIPS 02020), Matanuska- Susitna Borough (FIPS 02170), and Valdez-Cordova Census Area (FIPS 02261) were combined into South Central Area (FIPS 02020). Juneau Borough (FIPS 02110), Haines Borough (FIPS 02100), Ketchikan Gateway Borough (FIPS 02130), Prince of Wales-Outer Ketchikan Census Area (FIPS 02201), Sitka Borough (FIPS 02220), Skagway-Yakutat-Angoon Census Area (FIPS 02231), and Wrangell-Petersburg Census Area (FIPS 02280) were combined into Southeast Area (FIPS 02110). Fairbanks North Star Area (FIPS 02090), Southeast Fairbanks Census Area (FIPS 02240), and Yukon- Koyukuk Census Area (FIPS 02290) were combined into Interior Area (FIPS 02090). From the AG-CENSUS the following database files were extracted: > 010001 Farms(numbers) > 010015 Total cropland (acres) > 010017 Total cropland, harvested cropland (acres) > 010021 Market value of agricultural products sold, average per farm > (dollars) > 010022 Market value of agricultural products sold-crops, including > nursery and greenhouse crops ($1,000) > 010023 Market value of agricultural products sold - livestock, > poultry, and their products ($1,000) > 010024 Farms by value of sales: Less than $2,500 > 010025 Farms by value of sales: $2,500 to $4,999 > 010031 Total farm production expenses ($1,000) > 010057 Broilers and other meat-type chickens sold (number) > 010059 Corn for grain or seed (acres) > 010068 Wheat for grain (acres) > 010083 Cotton (acres) > 010089 Soybeans for beans (acres) > 010113 Vegetables harvested for sale (acres) > 010115 Land in orchards (acres) > 080009 Irrigated land (acres) > 090024 Selected machinery/equip-wheel tractors,100 horsepower (PTO) or > more (number) > 110049 Operators by sex: Female (farms) > 110051 Individual or family (sole proprietorship) (farms) > 140002 Cattle and calves inventory (number) > 150002 Hogs and pigs (number) > 310344 Pecans (in shell), total (acres) > 330044 Nursery crops, sales ($1,000) > 350001 Black and other races, land in farms (farms) In the databases files, the field names were edited to include the table number, the text number fields were changed to numeric number fields, and fields flagged with D (data withheld to avoid disclosing information for individual farms) were changed from 0 to -9999. The individual database files were converted to dBASE IV files and combined into a single database file. This file was converted to an INFO table which was then joined to the edited ATLAS-1990CNTY coverage, and a shapefile was created.

Process_Date: 20010507 Process_Step: Process_Description: The database files from AG-CENSUS were used to identify fields flagged with N (data not available or not published), and for those fields the value was changed from 0 to -8888. A new Arc/INFO coverage was created using the updated database, and was then converted to a shapefile. Unneeded polygons in Washington and Maine were deleted.
