Agricultural Waste Management Systems on Agricultural Land in the Conterminous United States, 1992: National Resource Inventory Conservation Practice 312
This data set represents the estimated percentage of the 1-km grid cell that is covered by or subject to
the agricultural conservation practice (CP312), Agricultural Waste Management Systems on agricultural
land by county. "An agricultural waste management system (AWMS) is a planned system in which all
necessary components are installed and managed to control and use by products of agricultural production
in a manner that sustains or enhances the quality of air, water, soil, plant, and animal resources.
Agricultural waste management systems must be developed using the total systems approach. A
total system accounts for all the waste associated with an agricultural enterprise throughout the year
from production to utilization. In short, it is the management of all the waste, all the time, all the way."
(U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1995) This data set was created with geographic information systems
(GIS) and database management tools. The acres on which AWMS's are applied were totaled at the
county level in the tabular NRI database and then apportioned to a raster coverage of agricultural land
within the county based on the Enhanced National Land Cover Dataset (NLCDe) 1-kilometer resolution
land cover grids (Nakagaki, 2003). Federal land is not considered in this analysis because NRI does
not record information on those lands.
