customizing the map to an area of geographic interest or selecting a
vector of data to view. The applications are listed by subject area.
Farm Programs:
-
Farm Program Acres - Map county-level farm program and planted acreage data and manipulate data to illustrate the share of commodity
base acreage planted to nine major program crops (corn, grain sorghum, barley, oats, wheat, rice, cotton, peanuts, and oilseeds). Available data includes

maps, tables, and charts that display information on demographic trends,
industrial structure, and the economic well-being of rural and urban
communities. The program allows users to analyze rural and urban differences at
the national, State, and county levels and provides useful information to
community leaders, Federal officials, and researchers.
Food Assistance:
-

records, and Common Core Data to display program sponsors and sites in relation
to concentrated areas of child poverty. Users can download underlying data and
display maps for the Nation, States, counties, or neighborhoods; and view
different levels of geographic data.
-
Food Stamp Program Map Machine
- mapping utility that displays program participation and benefit levels down
to the county level. Users can view per capita participation, per capita
benefits, yearly changes, and more for the county, State, or Nation. Zoom in to
a region and display a map showing county program participation changes over
time. Underlying data are available to download.
Resources and Environment:
-
Agricultural Resources and
Environmental Indicators Database and Mapping Tool - an interactive
mapping and database access tool that will eventually access numerous
agricultural resources and environmental indicators data sets. This tool
currently accesses all tables and items from the 1987, 1992, and 1997 Census of
Agriculture data. Users can select a table and data item to map, view as a
table, or download. Users can also map data to cropland areas, zoom in, zoom
out, and identify a specific county.
