Project Type: Reimbursable

Start Date: Sep 15, 2005
End Date: Sep 30, 2009

Objective:
Determine how to best implement a large Web-based geographic information system database that is linked to the USDA-NRCS Landowner Self-Assessment guide and conservation planning tools, and served by a Web-based map browser that can be used by landowners and conservation planners to assess farm or ranch natural resources conditions.

Approach:
The WebGD framework and the WebGD-GEN application generator will be used to develop a prototype Web-based application suitable for use by the USDA-NRCS to assess landowner natural resource conditions and to guide conservation remedies supported by USDA Farm Bill conservation title. Included in the prototype will be components such as the Crop Rotation Economic & Environmental Impact Decision Aid-Budget Generator (CREEDA-BG), Web Soil Viewer, and automated conservation worksheets. The Oregon USDA-NRCS State Office will provide the information needed to produce the decision tree needed for the Web-based Landowner Self-Assessment guide. DocumentsReimbursable with NRCS. Log 29569.
