CropScape
• A web service based interactive map visualization, dissemination and querying system for U.S. cropland – No burden on users
• No client software development & installation• No special software tools needed• Data mashable• Democratization of data
– Equitable information access, automatic timely delivery, and geospatial navigation
• Collaboration with George Mason University/Center for Spatial Information Science and Systems (CSISS)

Crop Statistics
Pixel counting is usually downward biased when compared to official estimates. Counting pixels and multiplying by the area of each pixel will result in biased area estimates and should be considered raw numbers needing bias correction. Official crop acreage estimates are available at http://www.nass.usda.gov/.
