- Abstract The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) releases the annual Cropland Data Layer (CDL) via the NASS CropScape
geospatial portal <https://nassgeodata.gmu.edu/CropScape/>. The CDL product depicts agricultural land cover over the Continental
United States at 30 meters resolution. CropScape includes historical data dating back to 1997 for some locales. The CDL is
an annual raster, geo-referenced, crop-specific land cover data layer produced using satellite imagery and extensive agricultural
ground truth collected during the current growing season. The strength and emphasis of CropScape and the CDL is agricultural
land cover. Please note that no farmer reported data are derivable from CropScape or the Cropland Data Layer.
Please reference CropScape (https://nassgeodata.gmu.edu/CropScape/) or the official CDL website (https://www.nass.usda.gov/Research_and_Science/Cropland/SARS1a.php)
for a list of the available states and years of data and the individual metadata files that contain the technical details.
NASS developed both the CropScape and VegScape web services in cooperation with the Center for Spatial Information Science
and Systems, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA.
- Purpose CropScape is the online distribution website for the USDA, NASS Cropland Data Layer. The purpose of the Cropland Data Layer
Program is to use satellite imagery to (1) provide acreage estimates to the Agricultural Statistics Board for the state's
major commodities and (2) produce digital, crop-specific, categorized geo-referenced output products.
- Supplemental Information The data is available free for download through CropScape at <https://nassgeodata.gmu.edu/CropScape/>. Metadata, Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs), and the most current year of data is available free for download at the official website <https://www.nass.usda.gov/Research_and_Science/Cropland/SARS1a.php>.

- Overview Description
-
- Entity and Attribute Overview The Cropland Data Layer (CDL) is produced using agricultural training data from the Farm Service Agency (FSA) Common Land
Unit (CLU) Program and non-agricultural training data from the most current version of the United States Geological Survey
(USGS) National Land Cover Database (NLCD). The strength and emphasis of the CDL is crop-specific land cover categories. The
accuracy of the CDL non-agricultural land cover classes are entirely dependent upon the NLCD. Thus, the USDA, NASS recommends
that users consider the NLCD for studies involving non-agricultural land cover.
