Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
- description: This EnviroAtlas dataset shows the number of major grains grown, yield in tons, and area in hectares for several
major grains and for cotton by 12-digit Hydrologic Unit (HUC). It is based on the United States Department of Agriculture's
2010 Cropland Data Layer (CDL) and data on yields and sales from the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The
grains included in this dataset are corn, barley, cotton, durum wheat, oats, rye, rice, sorghum, spring wheat, soybeans, and
winter wheat; it does not include data on every grain. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online
mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with
a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States.
The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service.
Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet
(https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).; abstract: This EnviroAtlas dataset shows the number of major grains
