Estimates of agricultural cropping-practices in counties in the conterminous United States as reported in the 1987 Census of Agriculture
This coverage contains estimates of agricultural cropping-practices in counties in the conterminous
United States as reported in the 1987 Census of Agriculture (U.S. Department of Commerce, 1989a).
Agricultural cropping-practice data are reported as either acres, or as a percentage of county area.
Agricultural cropping-practice estimates were generated from surveys of all farms where $1,000 or
more of agricultural products were sold, or normally would have been sold, during the census year.
Most of the attributes summarized represent 1987 data, but some information for the 1982 Census
of Agriculture also was included.
The polygons representing county boundaries in the conterminous United States, as well as lakes,
estuaries, and other nonland-area features were derived from the Digital Line Graph (DLG) files
representing the 1:2,000,000-scale map in the National Atlas of the United States (1970).
