Description:

Abstract:

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), National
      Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) area sampling frame is a
      delineation of all parcels of land for the purpose of later sampling the
      parcels.  The area frame is constructed by visually interpreting satellite
      imagery to divide a state into homogenous land use areas (strata) based
      on percent cultivated.  The strata are typically defined as low, medium or
      high percent cultivated, non-agricultural land, urban use, agri-urban, or
      water.  The boundaries of the strata usually follow identifiable features
      such as roads, railroads and waterways.  The strata boundaries do not
      coincide with any political boundaries, with the exception of state
      boundaries.

Purpose:

These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the state level. The data should be displayed and analyzed at a scale of 1:100,000 or smaller (e.g., 1:250,000, etc.). The strata data are provided "as is". USDA/NASS does not warrant results you may obtain using the strata data.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Checks for topological consistency were performed
    on this data set.
  Completeness_Report:
    There are no known gaps or missing data.  This data set includes the area in
    square miles and number of acres for each strata.  Because the area sampling
    frame strata boundaries are modified, the boundaries may not be coincident 
    with strata boundaries of adjacent states.

      Process_Description:
        Individual county files were merged into a single state file
        and dissolved by strata. Topology was constructed in a personal
        geodatabase data format where overlaps and gaps were corrected. The data
        were exported to Environmental Systems Research Institute's Arcview
        shapefile format. Coordinates for the strata polygons are unprojected to
        geographic latitude and longitude (decimal degrees) referenced to the
        North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83).
