Overview
Now you can map and extract data behind statistics in AREI and other
ERS publications! The AREI Database and Mapping Tool provides maximum flexibility in data
access with the latest, on-the-fly, geographic information system (GIS) mapping and database retrieval
technologies. This site is a work in progress. It is intended to eventually
serve as one-stop access to both primary source and value-added
data used to generate summaries, statistics, and graphics in a broad
range of ERS publications on agricultural resources and environmental indicators. This initial version is made available
with one data source and a limited number of options.
Where else to start, but with the Census of Agriculture, collected
and published by USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service
(learn more about the Census of Agriculture). The
Census has thousands of data items to choose from and is the bedrock
of statistics related to agriculture. Remember to watch for additional data sources and functionality in future
versions.
