This layer is exactly the same as a shapefile named "strata_a_in.shp" and titled "Stratification of Indiana 2004" that was acquired by personnel of the Indiana Geological Survey from the USDA. The shapefile was renamed and the title was changed in order to conform to metadata standards of the Indiana Geological Survey.

Abstract
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) area sampling frame is a delineation of all parcels of land for the purpose of later sampling the parcels. The area frame is constructed by visually interpreting satellite imagery to divide a state into homogenous land use areas (strata) based on percent cultivated. The strata are typically defined as low, medium, or high percent cultivated, nonagricultural land, urban use, agri-urban, or water. The boundaries of the strata usually follow identifiable features such as roads, railroads, and waterways. The strata boundaries do not coincide with any political boundaries, with the exception of state boundaries.
Purpose
These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the state level. The data should be displayed and analyzed at a scale of 1:100,000 or smaller (for example, 1:250,000, and so on). The strata data are provided "as is." USDA/NASS does not warrant results you may obtain using the strata data.
