USDA-NASS 2006 North Dakota Cropland Data Layer

The USDA-NASS 2006 North Dakota Cropland Data (CDL) is a raster, geo-referenced, categorized land cover data layer produced using satellite imagery from the Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) Advanced Wide Field Sensor (AWiFS). The AWiFS ground resolution is 56 meters by 56 meters. The imagery was collected between the dates of 05/17/2006 and 09/30/2006. The CDL is aggregated to a reduced number of standardized categories for display purposes with the emphasis being agricultural land cover. Please note that no farmer reported data is derivable from the Cropland Data Layer.
