Annual Crop Data for All Crop Varieties by US County

Summary
Two datasets in the EOS-WEBSTER US County Data Collection provide
county-level data for crop acreage, production and yield
statistics. Crop data for 22 different field crops were acquired from
the National Agricultural Statistical Service (NASS) for 1972 through
1998. One dataset provides data for individual varieties/types ... of each
crop while the second dataset provides summary data by crop only. Data
can be subset by irrigated and non-irrigated areas. Sucrose content,
where applicable, is also included.
EOS-WEBSTER provides seven datasets which provide county-level data on
agricultural management, crop production, livestock, soil properties,
geography and population. These datasets were assembled during the
mid-1990's to provide driving variables for an assessment of
greenhouse gas production from US agriculture using the DNDC
agro-ecosystem model [see, for example, Li et al. (1992),
J. Geophys. Res., 97:9759-9776; Li et al. (1996) Global
Biogeochem. Cycles, 10:297-306]. The data (except nitrogen fertilizer
use) were all derived from publicly available, national
databases. Each dataset has a separate DIF.
The US County data has been divided into seven datasets.
US County Data Datasets:
1) Agricultural Management
2) Crop Data (NASS Crop data)
3) Crop Summary (NASS Crop data)
4) Geography and Population
5) Land Use
6) Livestock Populations
7) Soil Properties
