Cropland data layer:
U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2016, Cropland data layer [raster dataset]: U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agriculture Statistics Service, accessed June 29, 2017, at https://gdg.sc.egov.usda.gov/.

Abstract:The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) releases the annual Cropland Data Layer (CDL) via the NASS CropScape geospatial portal <http://nassgeodata.gmu.edu/CropScape/>. The CDL product depicts agricultural land cover over the Continental United States at 30 meters resolution. CropScape includes historical data dating back to 1997 for some locales. The CDL is an annual raster, geo-referenced, crop-specific land cover data layer produced using satellite imagery and extensive agricultural ground truth collected during the current growing season. The strength and emphasis of CropScape and the CDL is agricultural land cover. Please note that no farmer reported data are derivable from CropScape or the Cropland Data Layer.
Please reference CropScape (http://nassgeodata.gmu.edu/CropScape/) or the official CDL website (http://www.nass.usda.gov/Research_and_Science/Cropland/SARS1a.php) for a list of the available states and years of data and the individual metadata files that contain the technical details.
NASS developed both the CropScape and VegScape web services in cooperation with the Center for Spatial Information Science and Systems, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA.Purpose:CropScape is the online distribution website for the USDA, NASS Cropland Data Layer. The purpose of the Cropland Data Layer Program is to use satellite imagery to (1) provide acreage estimates to the Agricultural Statistics Board for the state's major commodities and (2) produce digital, crop-specific, categorized geo-referenced output products.Supplemental_Information:The data is available free for download through CropScape at <http://nassgeodata.gmu.edu/CropScape/>. Metadata, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), and the most current year of data is available free for download at the official website <http://www.nass.usda.gov/Research_and_Science/Cropland/SARS1a.php>.
