For the first time, results from the Census of Agriculture have been published at the watershed level by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
“Our data users in the agricultural and environmental communities have expressed the need for watershed data and NASS is proud to meet their needs,” said Carol House, NASS deputy administrator for programs and products. “The new watershed publication presents agricultural data that conforms to geographic boundaries, rather than state and county boundaries.”
In the new publication, NASS reports selected data from the 2007 Census of Agriculture according to watershed boundaries set by the U.S. Geological Survey. The information is available for all 20 major water sources in the United States, as well as for each of the 376 water basins.
