Abstract
This data represents cropland in Wisconsin for 2020.[The USDA-NASS Cropland Data Layer (CDL) is an annual raster, geo-referenced, crop-specific land cover data layer. The CDL Program began with one state in 1997 and expanded to cover the entire Continental United States in 2008.The CDL has a ground resolution of 30 or 56 meters depending on the state and year. For metadata files with detailed product and technical information or to download a national seamless Cropland Data Layer (.img raster in Albers Conical Equal Area projection), please visit: https://www.nass.usda.gov/Research_and_Science/Cropland/SARS1a.php or the CropScape web portal at https://nassgeodata.gmu.edu/CropScape.The data layer is aggregated to a possible 85 standardized categories for display purposes, with the emphasis being agricultural land cover. Most data layers average about 10 to 20 categories out of the 85 possible categories.The purpose of the Cropland Data Layer Program is to use satellite imagery on an annual basis to (1) provide supplemental acreage estimates for the state's major commodities and (2) produce digital, crop specific, categorized geo-referenced output products.This program represents a cooperative venture between three USDA Agencies (headquarters units of NASS, the Foreign Agriculture Service, and the Farm Service Agency) plus in-state agreements among the Agricultural Statistics Service, the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Agriculture.Maps are included for all available years when the product is ordered. However, previewing the metadata or image in step two will only show the most recent year. All states do not have all years in the maps delivered from the Gateway. Use 'Status Maps' to see a map with labels of the years that are available.]
Purpose
This data is intended for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. [The purpose of the Cropland Data Layer is to use satellite imagery to (1) provide supplemental acreage estimates for the state's major commodities and (2) produce digital, crop specific, categorized geo-referenced output products.]

[The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Service Center Agencies should be acknowledged as the data source in products derived from these data.This data set is not designed for use as a primary regulatory tool in permitting or citing decisions, but may be used as a reference source. This information may be interpreted by organizations, agencies, units of government, or others based on needs; however, they are responsible for the appropriate application. Federal, State, or local regulatory bodies are not to reassign to the Service Center Agencies any authority for the decisions that they make. The Service Center Agencies will not perform any evaluations of these data for purposes related solely to State or local regulatory programs.Photographic or digital enlargement of these data to scales greater than at which they were originally mapped can cause misinterpretation of the data. Digital data files are periodically updated, and users are responsible for obtaining the latest version of the data.]
