FSA District Director Boundaries
The FSA district boundaries are internal administrative collections of counties that are established at the state level. FSA does not have a formal national geospatial layer for District Directors’ district boundaries. The Deputy Administrator for Field Operations (DAFO) has been working with the states to update/adjust the number of districts in each state. DAFO manages these boundaries and they change as office closures and resource changes occur. Such a layer could be created, but the updated information must be received before a boundary file can be created. If a geographic boundary file were to be created, FSA would have to organize a regular cycle when DAFO provides updated information as changes occur, establish a process for creating that geospatial boundary layer, and determine where and how FSA would host this and make it accessible for the future. With the exception of NAIP imagery, none of the other geospatial layers are publicly releasable data. Under these circumstances, FSA has information that routinely changes and does not have the resources to provide this geospatial data at this time. Such spatial data would be primarily useful for FSA internal administrative use.
