Summary Report
2010 National Resources Inventory
Introduction
This report presents summary results from the 2010
National Resources Inventory (NRI). The 2010 NRI is
the latest in a series of natural resource inventories
conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). It
provides updated information on the status, condition,
and trends of land, soil, water, and related resources on
the Nation’s non-Federal lands. Non-Federal lands
include privately owned lands, tribal and trust lands,
and lands controlled by State and local governments.
The 2010 NRI provides nationally consistent data for
the 28-year period 1982–2010. This current NRI
database should be used to compare 2010 conditions
with those for earlier years. Comparisons using NRI
data published prior to 2010 can produce incorrect
inferences. Statistical estimation and quality assurance
procedures employed for the NRI survey program help
ensure that trends reported using NRI data reflect true
changes in resource conditions; the “NRI Survey
Process” section of this report provides further
explanation.
This report presents national- and state-level estimates
from the 2010 NRI for the 48 conterminous states,
Hawaii, and the Caribbean Territories for basic NRI
data themes, including changes and trends in land
cover/use, irrigation, land capability class and subclass,
prime farmland, soil erosion, and wetlands. These basic
findings will be supplemented during the first part of
2014 by Web modules on various topics of interest,
including soil erosion, land use, wetlands, and
development of non-Federal rural land. These
supplemental materials plus information on how to
request additional 2010 NRI estimates can be found on
the NRI Web site at
http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/technical/nri/.
The NRI survey program is scientifically based,
employing recognized statistical sampling methods.
The 2010 NRI was conducted by NRCS in cooperation
with Iowa State University’s Center for Survey
Statistics and Methodology (ISU-CSSM), which serves
as the NRI Statistical Unit providing statistical and
survey methods support for the NRI survey program.
Background
The results of the 1934 National Erosion
Reconnaissance Survey, the first formal study of
erosion in the United States, were instrumental in the
passage of the Soil Conservation Act of 1935. That Act
established the Soil Conservation Service (SCS),
NRCS’s predecessor agency.
Since its founding, SCS/NRCS has conducted periodic
inventories of the Nation’s natural resources. The 1945
Soil and Water Conservation Needs Inventory (CNI),
another reconnaissance study, was the foundation for
the 1958 and 1967 CNIs, which represented the
agency’s first efforts to collect data nationally for
scientifically selected field sites. The 1975 Potential
Cropland Study examined the conversion of the
Nation’s best farmland to urban development and
provided statistical data on the potential for converting
other lands to cropland. Periodic NRIs were conducted
in 1977, 1982, 1987, 1992, and 1997. Since 2000, NRI
data have been gathered annually, though major
releases of these data continue to be reported at 5-year
intervals. This 2010 NRI release is an exploration into
the feasibility and usefulness of more frequent releases.
The NRI survey framework was also used to conduct
several less intensive, special-issue inventories during
the 1990s; these special studies investigated topical
matters of concern (such as wetland conversions) and
supplemented the periodic NRI surveys.
Numerous legislative acts have mandated that NRCS
collect natural resources data. The Rural Development
Act of 1972 directed the Secretary of Agriculture to
implement a land inventory and monitoring program
and to issue a report on the conditions and trends of
soil, water, and related resources at intervals not
exceeding 5 years. The Soil and Water Resources
Conservation Act (RCA) of 1977 and other supporting
legislation augmented the statutory mandate for
periodic assessment of the Nation’s natural resources.
To fulfill this requirement, the NRI program was
1
Summary Report
2010 National Resources Inventory
developed to provide critical information regarding
natural resources and to supplement the NRCS Soil
Survey Program.
NRI Survey Process
NRI survey objectives and procedures have evolved
continuously over the past 33 years. The NRI process
initiated in 1977 was developed in response to several
significant Congressional edicts; it was based upon
scientific and rigorous sample survey protocols, and
was influenced by the earlier experiences of the CNIs
(1950s and 1960s) and the 1975 Potential Cropland
Study. USDA and agency officials initiated the NRI
process in 1977 through the construction of a
permanent statistical sampling frame that could be used
to periodically obtain scientifically credible information
on conditions and trends of soil, water, and related
resources. Even though 1977 NRI data provided the
foundation for the 1980 appraisal of natural resources
required by the Soil and Water Resources Conservation
Act (RCA) of 1977, it was determined that there were
important data gaps and that the survey’s sample size
should be significantly increased.
The 1982 NRI utilized most of the survey methodology
and protocols employed for the 1977 NRI, but the scope
and sample size were increased to meet RCA demands
and to also better address emerging issues such as
permanent loss of agricultural land to nonagricultural
uses. The 1982 NRI was eventually designed to
establish a data base that would allow natural resource
issues to be analyzed by portions of Major Land
Resource Areas (MLRAs) within States. The initial
desire was to have county-level reliability rather than
the State-level reliability provided by the 1977 NRI, but
it was determined that sufficient resources were not
available; and the 1982 NRI sample design was
ultimately a compromise because it provided the
equivalent of multi-county level reliability [Nusser and
Goebel (1997); Goebel (1998)].
Sample design
The universe of interest for the NRI survey consists of
all surface area (land and water) of the United States
including all 50 States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, and certain Pacific Basin islands. The sample
covers all land ownership categories including Federal,
although NRI data collection activities have historically
concentrated on non-Federal lands. The NRI sample
was selected on a county-by-county basis, using a
stratified, two-stage, area sampling scheme. The two-
stage sampling units are (1) nominally square segments
of land, and (2) points within the segments. The
segments are typically half-mile-square parcels of land
equivalent to 160-acre quarter-sections in the Public
Land Survey System, but there are many exceptions in
the western and northeastern United States. Three
specific sample point locations were selected for most
selected segments, although two were selected for 40acre segments in irrigated portions of some western
States, and some segments originally contained only
one sample point.
Some modifications to the sample were made between
1982 and 1997. The 1997 NRI sample contained about
300,000 sample segments and 800,000 sample points.
The NRI was conducted every 5 years from 1977 to
1997. Thereafter, an annual or continuous approach was
initiated in 2000. This approach provides efficiencies in
conducting the survey and balancing of resources, and
also makes it easier for the NRI to respond to newly
emerging resource issues. Each year a subset of
between 71,000 and 72,000 segments from the 1997
sample is selected for observation. The subset is
selected using a supplemented panel rotation design
[Fuller and Breidt (1998); Breidt and Fuller (1999)];
this means that a core panel of about 40,000 segments
is observed each year along with a different
supplemental or rotation panel selected for each year.
These panels are selected using stratification based
upon geographical factors and historical data; for
example, segments containing wetlands or land enrolled
in the USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)
have a significantly higher chance of selection than
those classified historically as forest land.
Data collection
Data for the 1982 NRI were collected by thousands of
SCS field staff, supplemented by contractors and
employees of other agencies working under the
direction of SCS. Data collection started in spring 1980
and concluded in fall 1982; data collected prior to 1982
were reviewed to ensure that they reflected 1982
growing season conditions. For the 1987 NRI, data
were collected by teams of trained personnel; remote
sensing techniques were used to update 1982 conditions
for about 30 percent of the sample sites. The use of
remote sensing increased during the 1990s. Starting in
2000, special high-resolution imagery was acquired for
each NRI sample site selected for that year’s annual
sample.
2
Summary Report
2010 National Resources Inventory
For the 1997 NRI, 21 Inventory Collection and
Coordination Sites (ICCS) were established and
assigned oversight and management authorities for data
gathering. Some sites assembled staffs at one central
office, while others distributed staff among multiple
office locations. Data gatherers entered all sample data
directly into hand-held computers, which were
programmed to provide an intelligent survey instrument
with historic information, procedural logic, and
checking routines for data completeness and
consistency. The ICCS structure continued for the
2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003 Annual NRI data collection
activities.
As part of the 2004 NRCS reorganization, the agency
established Remote Sensing Laboratories (RSLs) at
Greensboro, NC; Fort Worth, TX; and Portland, OR.
These units were designed, staffed, and equipped to
take full advantage of modern geospatial technologies
to facilitate efficient collection and processing of NRI
data. They are staffed with permanent employees whose
full-time job is NRI data collection and processing.
Staffing includes NRCS employees who provide
management support and technical expertise in
agronomy, forestry, grazing land management, soil
science, and biology; contract employees provide
imagery preparation, photo interpretation, data
gathering, and quality control services. Local NRCS
staff utilize Field Office records and other materials to
obtain certain data elements that are not easily obtained
through photo interpretation, e.g., cropping histories,
factors needed to populate erosion prediction models,
participation in programs such as CRP and the
Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), and unique
landscape features. Historical data and numerous types
of auxiliary data are also utilized.
Numerous quality control and quality assurance
processes are performed by NRCS and contract staff as
well as by the Statistical Unit and NRCS resource
inventory specialists co-located with the Statistical
Unit. Many of the quality assurance processes are
embedded within the survey software developed by
NRCS and the Statistical Unit. Intricate quality
assurance processes have been developed to ensure that
year-to-year differences in the data reflect actual
changes in resource conditions, rather than differences
in the perspectives of two different data collection
specialists, or changes in technologies and protocols.
The Annual NRI design also calls for annual collection
of onsite data at subsets of the annual sample segments
and points. Protocols have been developed for
rangelands and other grazing lands, and systematic
collection of data has been in effect since 2003. Results
from rangeland data collection activities are reported
separately from the 2010 NRI results presented in this
report.
Protocols were also developed for cropland focusing on
conducting farm owner/operator interviews designed to
obtain detailed data on farming activities and
conservation practices for a 3-year period for the field
associated with an NRI sample point; interviews were
conducted during 2003 – 2006 by trained enumerators
working for USDA’s National Agricultural Statistical
Service. Results from 2003 – 2006 data collection have
been published from 2010 through the present as part of
the Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP).
Similar data collection activities have become a
standard part of the NRI survey process.
Features of the NRI system
The NRI is unique because of established linkages to
the NRCS Soil Survey Program. Identifying soil
occurrences and patterns and utilizing this knowledge
to provide technical assistance in the development of
conservation plans for landowners are primary agency
functions. The NRI data gathering process relies
heavily upon information contained in the NRCS Soil
Survey Database. Information about specific properties
and characteristics of the soil and surrounding
landscapes is utilized to develop NRI data elements and
interpretations. In addition, analysis and assessments
utilizing NRI data can take advantage of the many soil
interpretations and characteristics contained in the Soil
Survey Database because each NRI sample point is
linked to a specific soil in the database.
Another special feature of the NRI is its true
longitudinal nature. Even though many operational
factors of the NRI survey program have evolved over
the years, survey processes have been instituted to
ensure that data contained within the 2010 NRI
database are longitudinally consistent. For example,
data collection protocols always include review and
editing of historical data for the particular NRI
sampling units being observed. Extensive deliberations
were given to development of survey methods and
protocols when the RSLs were established in 2004.
Data collection tools, technologies, and staffing were
completely different than those utilized for all previous
NRI data collection activities. The first and most
important business requirement was that the methods
3
Summary Report
2010 National Resources Inventory
and protocols developed and implemented must result
in data that would provide legitimate trends over time.
Statistical calibration and other modeling techniques are
also used to ensure that NRI data provide legitimate
estimates of change across multiple points in time.
The NRI survey system utilizes points as the sampling
units rather than farms or fields; land use and land unit
boundaries change frequently in some parts of the
country, and factors such as soil type do not follow
human-induced boundaries such as land unit
boundaries. Using points has allowed the NRI survey
process to produce a database with dozens of factors
(data elements) that are properly correlated over
multiple years, so that analyses and inferences based
upon the data are using proper combinations of
longitudinal data.
Because the NRI survey program is based upon
scientific and rigorous sample survey protocols, it is of
utmost importance to maintain and protect the integrity
and confidentiality of the NRI data gathering sites.
USDA and NRCS policy states that the NRI program
will be conducted so as to “Maintain confidentiality of
and administer access to information and materials
pertaining to locations of data collection sites, with site
locations identified by coordinate systems, depicted on
maps or photographs, described by direct observation of
local conditions and other materials assembled for
inventories not constituting public information and to
be used and managed only for official inventory
purposes or for such purposes approved by the
Secretary of Agriculture.” All NRI leaders and data
gatherers are required to sign a confidentiality
agreement, which defines levels of access to programsensitive information for staff involved in NRI data
collection. NRI data that identify owners, operators, or
data collection sites are not to be released to the public.
Certain confidentiality provisions have also been
specified in the Farm Security Act of 2002 and the
Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008.
used by natural resource managers; policymakers and
analysts; consultants; the media; other Federal agencies;
State governments; universities; environmental,
commodity, and farm groups; and the public.
Historically, NRI information has been used to
formulate effective public policies, to fashion
agricultural and natural resources legislation, to develop
State and national conservation programs, to allocate
USDA financial and technical assistance in addressing
natural resource concerns, and to enhance public
understanding of natural resources and environmental
issues.
NRI data are designed to be part of the core
components of the agency's strategic planning and
accountability efforts, and to help assess consequences
of existing legislative mandates, such as the appraisals
required by the RCA and the periodic Farm Bills. The
2007 NRI provided the analytical foundation for the
RCA Appraisal that USDA delivered to Congress in
2011 and the subsequent update of the National
Conservation Program, which together provide
guidance to USDA on conservation activities needed to
meet the Nation’s long-term resource needs. The NRI
will provide a statistical framework to evaluate
proposed programs and policies relative to
environmental considerations and various climate
change scenarios, and relative to short- and long-term
productivity and economic considerations.
Use and Interpretation
of 2010 NRI Data
Adjustments to historic NRI data
The 2010 NRI database has been designed for use in
detecting significant changes in resource conditions
relative to the years 1982, 1987, 1992, 1997, 2002,
2007, and 2010. All comparisons for two points in time
should be made using the new 2010 NRI database.
Comparisons made using data published for earlier
NRIs may produce erroneous results because of
changes in statistical estimation methodology and
because all data collected prior to 2010 were
simultaneously reviewed (edited) as 2010 NRI data
were collected. Some edits were needed because of
updated technical guidance; when standards are revised
they are applied to both the historical data and the
newly collected data.
The NRI survey program provides scientifically valid,
comprehensive, and relevant data on how U.S. nonFederal rural lands are being used, and on natural
resource and environmental conditions for these lands,
with the specific goal of supporting agricultural and
environmental policy development and program
implementation. Information derived from the NRI is
Statistical considerations
Statistics derived from the NRI database are based upon
data collected at sample sites located across all parts of
the Nation. This means that all results are statistical
estimates and contain some amount of statistical
uncertainty. Interpretation of NRI results requires an
4
Summary Report
2010 National Resources Inventory
understanding of the amount of this uncertainty
associated with each estimate, as well as an
understanding of the inventory procedures. Since the
NRI employs recognized statistical methodology, it is
possible to quantify this statistical uncertainty.
Margins of error are provided for all statistical
estimates presented in this Summary Report; they are
included below each estimate in smaller print as a plus
or minus value. The margin of error is a commonly
used measure of statistical uncertainty and can be used
to construct a 95-percent confidence interval for an
estimate. The lower bound of the confidence interval is
obtained by subtracting the margin of error from the
estimate; adding the margin of error to the estimate
forms the upper bound. Measures of uncertainty (e.g.,
margins of error, standard errors, confidence intervals,
coefficients of variation) should be taken into
consideration when using NRI estimates. The margin of
error is calculated by multiplying the standard error by
the factor 1.96; a coefficient of variation is the relative
standard for an estimate, usually in terms of
percentages, and is calculated by taking 100 times the
standard error and then dividing by the estimate.
The precision of NRI estimates depends upon the
number of samples within the region of interest, the
distribution of the resource characteristics across the
region, the sampling procedure, and the estimation
procedure. Characteristics that are common and spread
fairly uniformly over an area can be estimated more
precisely than characteristics that are rare or unevenly
distributed. Estimates of change between two points in
time will be less precise (relatively) because the
changes will be occurring on a smaller fraction of the
landscape.
Release of NRI results is guided by NRCS policy and is
in accordance with OMB and USDA Quality of
Information Guidelines developed in 2001. NRCS is
releasing NRI estimates only when they meet statistical
standards and are scientifically credible in accordance
with these policies; also, measures of statistical
uncertainty are provided for all 2010 NRI estimates
released to the public.
Interpretation of the data
The NRI provides not only overall estimates of changes
in resource conditions but also the dynamics of those
changes. For example, gross losses and gains in
cropland can be examined, and it can be determined
why cropland was lost (say, to development), how
much had been classified as prime farmland, and where
these losses occurred. For new cropland, the issue may
be additional conservation and environmental concerns
because the new cropland is more erodible, the soils are
less productive and require higher levels of fertilization,
or the land is sited in some other sensitive location.
NRI survey results are based upon a particular set of
definitions, protocols, and instructions. These have
been developed to support NRCS programs and USDA
analytical needs, so they differ in some cases from
those used by other agencies. These differences need to
be considered when analyzing and interpreting the data.
Non-Federal Land: Most NRI estimates pertain only
to non-Federal rural lands; non-Federal lands include
privately owned lands, tribal and trust lands, and lands
controlled by State and local governments. Some
estimates, such as those for wetlands and deepwater
habitats, cover water areas and all non-Federal lands
including developed land.
Soil Erosion: NRI erosion estimates are based upon
erosion prediction models rather than on-site measuring
of soil detachment, transport, and deposition. The
erosion prediction models provide estimated average
annual (or expected) rates based upon the cropping
practices, management practices, and inherent resource
conditions that occur at each NRI sample site. Climatic
factors used in the erosion prediction equations
(models) are based upon long-term average conditions
and not upon one year’s actual events. NRI estimates of
sheet and rill erosion utilize standard Universal Soil
Loss Equation (USLE) technology rather than revised
USLE (RUSLE) methodology so that it is possible to
make comparisons back to the year 1982. Erosion
estimates are currently made only for cropland, CRP
land, and pastureland. Erosion prediction models for
rangeland are currently under development and
evaluation.
Developed Land: The NRI category of developed land
differs from that used by some other data collection
entities. For the NRI, the intent is to identify which
lands have been removed from the rural land base,
while other studies are interested in human populations
(e.g., Census of Population) and housing units (e.g.,
American Housing Survey). The NRI developed land
category includes (a) large tracts of urban and built-up
land; (b) small tracts of built-up land of less than 10
acres; and (c) land outside of these built-up areas that is
5
Summary Report
2010 National Resources Inventory
in a rural transportation corridor (roads, railroads, and
associated rights-of-way).
CRP Land: For the NRI, CRP land is classified
separately from cropland because it provides different
resource and conservation issues than hayland,
horticultural cropland, and cultivated cropland. Acres in
CRP can be added to NRI cropland acres for analyses
and reporting. The CRP land use in the NRI is only the
CRP general sign-up and does not include CRP
continuous sign-ups. See the definitions for the
distinctions. CRP acreage in this report will differ
slightly from the administrative reports produced by the
Farm Service Agency due to weighting issues at the
state level.
Metric Conversion
To convert acres to hectares, multiply the number of
acres by 0.405.
To convert tons to metric tons, multiply the number of
tons by 0.907.
To convert tons/acre to metric tons/hectare, multiply the
number of tons/acre by 2.24.
Irrigation: For the NRI, land is considered irrigated if
irrigation occurs during the year of inventory, or during
2 or more of the 4 years prior to the inventory. Other
entities typically consider land to be irrigated only if
irrigation water is applied for the year of interest.
Wetlands: NRI classification of wetlands is slightly
different than that used by the Fish & Wildlife Service
(FWS) in their statistically based Wetlands Status and
Trends study. The NRI and the FWS inventory have
different legislative mandates; sampling methodology,
inventory protocols, data handling, and analysis
routines have evolved independently over the past two
decades, even though both survey programs use the
hierarchical Cowardin classification system. Recent
collaborative efforts have resulted in enhanced
classifications for both programs, but wetlands data
collected by the two agencies are currently neither
comparable nor interchangeable. The NRI multiresource approach is beneficial to USDA analysts and
others who examine conservation and agrienvironmental issues. Results from the FWS study are
beneficial to analysts in the Department of the Interior
and others.

Summary Report
2010 National Resources Inventory
Overview of Survey Findings
•
The contiguous 48 states, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and
the U.S. Virgin Islands cover almost 1.95 billion
acres of land and water; about 71 percent of this
area is non-Federal rural land – nearly 1.4 billion
acres.
•
Non-Federal rural lands are predominantly
rangeland (409 million acres), forest land (409
million acres), and cropland (361 million acres).
•
Cropland. Cropland acreage increased by about 2
million acres from 2007 to 2010 after a steady
decline over the previous 25 years. The increase
was a little over 0.5 percent from 359 to 361
million acres. Most of the gain came from land
coming out of the Conservation Reserve Program
counterbalanced to some degree by losses of
cropland to pasture, development, and other rural
land. (See Cropland Gains and Losses charts
below.)
•
Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Between
2007 and 2010, the acreage of land in the CRP was
reduced by nearly 18 percent, from 32.3 to 26.6
million acres. About half of that acreage became
cropland, while another third became pastureland.
(See CRP Gains and Losses charts below.)
•
Erosion. Soil erosion on cropland decreased 41
percent between 1982 and 2010. Water (sheet and
rill) erosion declined from 1.67 billion tons per
year to 982 million tons per year, and erosion due
to wind decreased from 1.38 billion to 740 million
tons per year. The estimate of the change in erosion
from 2007 to 2010 was not statistically significant
from zero. (See chart below and map on page 11.)
•
Prime Farmland. About 23 percent (or 316
million acres) of the non-Federal rural land base is
classified as prime farmland. This represents a loss
of over 13 million acres since 1982; most of this
loss was due to development.

•
Development. About 43 million acres of land
were newly developed between 1982 and 2010,
bringing the total to about 113 million acres; that
represents a 58 percent increase. Thus, more than
37 percent of developed land in the 48
conterminous states, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the
U.S. Virgin Islands was developed during the last
28 years. From 2007 to 2010 developed land
increased 2.1 percent. In addition, every one of the
48 conterminous states, Hawaii, and the Caribbean
had statistically significant increases in developed
land.
•
Wetlands. Palustrine and Estuarine wetlands
covered 7.2 percent of the water and non-Federal
lands in the 48 conterminous states, Hawaii, Puerto
Rico, and the Virgin Islands, with over half being
in forest lands.

Barren Land. A land cover/use category used to
classify lands with limited capacity to support life and
having less than 5 percent vegetative cover. Vegetation,
if present, is widely spaced. Typically, the surface of
barren land is sand, rock, exposed subsoil, or saltaffected soils. Subcategories include salt flats; sand
dunes; mud flats; beaches; bare exposed rock; quarries,
strip mines, gravel pits, and borrow pits; riverwash; oil
wasteland; mixed barren lands; and other barren land.
Built-up land. See urban and built-up areas.
C factor (USLE). See cover and management factor.
C factor (WEQ). See climatic factor.
Climatic factor (C factor - WEQ). Characterizes
climatic erosivity, specifically wind speed and surface
soil moisture. The factor for any given locality is
expressed as a percentage of the C factor for Garden
City, Kansas, which has a value of 100.
Conservation practice. A specific treatment, such as a
structural or vegetative measure or management
technique commonly used to meet specific needs in
planning and conservation, for which standards and
specifications have been developed. Conservation
practices are in the NRCS Field Office Technical
Guide, Section IV, which is based on the National
Handbook of Conservation Practices. (The practices
recorded for NRI have been applied to the area of land
in which the NRI point falls or the portion of the field
that would be used in conservation planning. The point
need not fall on a specific practice.)
Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). A Federal
program established under the Food Security Act of
1985 to assist private landowners to convert highly
erodible cropland to vegetative cover for 10 years.
CRP continuous sign-up. Continuous CRP was
introduced in the 1996 Farm Bill. Eligible lands must
be suitable to serve as one of a number of conservation
practices, such as a wetland restoration, filterstrip,
riparian buffer, or field windbreak. Landowners and
operators with eligible lands may enroll the high
priority conservation practices at any time during the
year without competition. For NRI, land enrolled in the
continuous CRP is included in its respective land
cover/use (i.e: cropland, grassland, forest, marsh, etc.).
CRP general sign-up. General CRP was introduced in
the 1985 Farm Bill. Eligible lands must be highly
erodible or in a State or National conservation priority
area. Landowners and operators with eligible lands
compete nationally for acceptance based on an
environmental benefits index (EBI) during specified
enrollment periods.
CRP land use. For NRI, only acres that have been
enrolled in CRP general sign-up are included in the
CRP land cover/use category. It does not include acres
enrolled under CRP continuous sign-up.
Cover and management factor (C factor - USLE).
The ratio of soil loss from an area with specific cover
and management to that from an identical area in tilled
continuous fallow.
Cowardin system. A classification system of wetlands
and deepwater habitats of the United States, officially
adopted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)
used to develop wetland data bases. The five major
systems are Estuarine, Lacustrine, Marine, Palustrine,
and Riverine (Cowardin, et.al., 1979).
Cropland. A land cover/use category that includes
areas used for the production of adapted crops for
harvest. Two subcategories of cropland are recognized:
cultivated and noncultivated. Cultivated cropland
comprises land in row crops or close-grown crops and
also other cultivated cropland, for example, hayland or
pastureland that is in a rotation with row or close-grown
crops. Noncultivated cropland includes permanent
hayland and horticultural cropland.
Cultivated cropland. See cropland.
Deepwater habitat. Any open water area in which the
mean water depth exceeds 6.6 feet in nontidal areas or
at mean low water in freshwater tidal areas, or is
covered by water during extreme low water at spring
12
Summary Report
2010 National Resources Inventory
tides in salt and brackish tidal areas, or covers the
deepest emerging vegetation, whichever is deeper.
minimum area for classification as forest land is 1 acre,
and the area must be at least 100 feet wide.
Developed land. A combination of land cover/use
categories, large urban and built-up areas, small builtup areas, and rural transportation land.
Growing season. The period and/or number of days
between the last freeze in the spring and the first frost
in the fall for the freeze threshold temperature of the
crop or other designated temperature threshold.
Erosion. The wearing away of the land surface by
running water, waves, or moving ice and wind, or by
such processes as mass wasting and corrosion (solution
and other chemical processes). The term "geologic
erosion" refers to natural erosion processes occurring
over long (geologic) time spans. "Accelerated erosion"
generically refers to erosion that exceeds what is
presumed or estimated to be naturally occurring levels,
and which is a direct result of human activities (e.g.,
cultivation and logging).
Estuarine Wetland. Wetlands occurring in the
Estuarine System, one of five systems in the
classification of wetlands and deepwater habitats
(Cowardin et al., 1979). Estuarine wetlands are tidal
wetlands that are usually semi-enclosed by land but
have open, partly obstructed or sporadic access to the
open ocean, and in which ocean water is at least
occasionally diluted by freshwater runoff from the land.
The most common example is where a river flows into
the ocean.
Hayland. A subcategory of cropland managed for the
production of forage crops that are machine harvested.
The crop may be grasses, legumes, or a combination of
both. Hayland also includes land in set-aside or other
short-term agricultural programs.
Horticultural cropland. A subcategory of cropland
used for growing fruit, nut, berry, vineyard, and other
bush fruit and similar crops. Nurseries and other
ornamental plantings are included.
I factor (WEQ). See soil erodibility index.
Irrigated land. Land that shows evidence of being
irrigated during the year of the inventory or of having
been irrigated during 2 or more of the last 4 years.
Water is supplied to crops by ditches, pipes, or other
conduits. For the purposes of the NRI, water spreading
is not considered irrigation.
K factor (USLE). See soil erodibility factor (USLE).
Farmsteads and ranch headquarters. A land
cover/use category that includes dwellings,
outbuildings, barns, pens, corrals and feedlots next to
buildings, farmstead or feedlot windbreaks, and family
gardens associated with operating farms and ranches.
(Commercial feedlots, greenhouses, poultry facilities,
overnight pastures for livestock, and field windbreaks
are not considered part of farmsteads.)
Federal land. See Ownership.
Field. A cultivated area of land that is marked out for a
particular crop or cropping sequence.
Forest land. A land cover/use category that is at least
10 percent stocked by single-stemmed woody species
of any size that will be at least 4 meters (13 feet) tall at
maturity. Also included is land bearing evidence of
natural regeneration of tree cover (cut over forest or
abandoned farmland) and not currently developed for
non-forest use. Ten percent stocked, when viewed from
a vertical direction, equates to an areal canopy cover of
leaves and branches of 25 percent or greater. The
K factor (WEQ). See ridge roughness factor (WEQ).
L factor (USLE). See slope-length factor (USLE).
L factor (WEQ). See unsheltered distance factor
(WEQ).
Lacustrine System. Wetlands and deepwater habitats
occurring in the Lacustrine System, one of five systems
in the classification of wetlands and deepwater habitats
(Cowardin et al., 1979). The Lacustrine System
includes wetlands and deepwater habitats with all of the
following characteristics: (1) situated in a topographic
depression or a dammed river channel; (2) lacking
trees, shrubs, persistent emergent plants, emergent
mosses or lichens with greater than 30% areal coverage;
and (3) total area exceeding 20 acres. Similar habitats
totaling less than 20 acres are included if an active
wave-formed or bedrock shoreline feature makes up all
or part of the boundary, or if the water depth in the
deepest part of the basin exceeds 6.6 feet at low water.

Summary Report
2010 National Resources Inventory
Land capability classification (class and subclass).
Land capability classification is a system of grouping
soils primarily on the basis of their capability to
produce common cultivated crops and pasture plants
without deteriorating over a long period. Land
capability classification is subdivided into capability
class and capability subclass nationally.
Capability class. The broadest category in the
system. Class codes I to VIII indicate progressively
greater limitations and narrower choices for
agriculture. The numbers are used to represent both
irrigated and nonirrigated land capability.
Capability subclass. The second category in the
system. Class codes e (erosion problems), w
(wetness problems), s (root zone limitations), and c
(climatic limitations) are used for land capability
subclasses.
Land cover/use. A term that includes categories of
land cover and categories of land use. Land cover is the
vegetation or other kind of material that covers the land
surface. Land use is the purpose of human activity on
the land; it is usually, but not always, related to land
cover. The NRI uses the term land cover/use to identify
categories that account for all the surface area of the
United States.
Large urban and built-up areas. A land cover/use
category composed of developed tracts of at least 10
acres—meeting the definition of urban and built-up
areas.
Margins of Error. Margins of error are reported for
each NRI estimate. The margin of error is used to
construct the 95 percent confidence interval for the
estimate. The lower bound of the interval is obtained by
subtracting the margin of error from the estimate; the
upper bound is obtained by adding the margin of error
to the estimate. Confidence intervals can be created for
various levels of significance which is a measure of
how certain we are that the interval contains the true
value we are estimating. A 95 percent confidence
interval means that in repeated samples from the same
population, 95 percent of the time the true underlying
population parameter will be contained within the lower
and upper bounds of the interval.
Marine System. The open ocean overlying the
continental shelf and its associated high energy
coastline. Marine habitats are exposed to the waves and
currents of the open ocean and the water regimes are
determined primarily by the ebb and flow of oceanic
tides. One of the five systems in the classification of
wetlands and deepwater habitats. (Cowardin et al.,
1979.)
Marshland. A subcategory of the land cover/use
category other rural land, described as a non-forested
area of land partly or intermittently covered with water
and usually characterized by the presence of such
monocotyledons as sedges and rushes. These areas are
usually in a wetland class and are not placed in another
NRI land cover/use category, such as rangeland or
pastureland.
Noncultivated cropland. See cropland.
Other aquatic habitats. Includes wetlands and
deepwater habitats occurring in the Riverine,
Lacustrine, or Marine Systems, and deepwater habitats
occurring in the Estuarine System as defined by
Cowardin et al. 1979 (see Wetlands).
Other rural land. A land cover/use category that
includes farmsteads and other farm structures, field
windbreaks, barren land, and marshland.
Ownership. The separation of Federal and non-Federal
lands and the distinction between administrative units
of land. Water areas are not classified according to
ownership. The six categories of ownership are:
Private. A type of ownership pertaining to
land belonging to an individual person or
persons, a partnership, or a corporation (all of
which are persons in the legal sense), as
opposed to the public or the government;
private property.
Municipal. A type of ownership pertaining to
land belonging to the local government of a
town or city.
County or parish. A type of ownership
pertaining to land belonging to an
administrative subdivision of a State in the
United States, which is identified as a county
or an equivalent administrative unit in areas
where counties do not exist; examples are
parishes in Louisiana and boroughs in Alaska.
14
Summary Report
2010 National Resources Inventory
State. A type of ownership pertaining to land
belonging to one of the States,
commonwealths, or territories of the United
States of America.
Prime farmland. Land that has the best combination of
physical and chemical characteristics for producing
food, feed, forage, fiber, and oilseed crops and is also
available for these uses.
Federal land. A land ownership category
designating land that is owned by the Federal
Government. It does not include, for example,
trust lands administered by the Bureau of
Indian Affairs or Tennessee Valley Authority
(TVA) land. No data are collected for any year
that land is in this ownership.
Railroads. A category of rural transportation areas
that includes all operational rail systems and their
rights-of-way. Abandoned railroad beds are not
included as railroad areas.
Indian tribal and individual Indian trust
lands. A type of ownership of land
administered by officially constituted Indian
tribal or individual Indian trust entities.
P factor. See Practice factor.
Palustrine Wetland. Wetlands occurring in the
Palustrine System, one of five systems in the
classification of wetlands and deepwater habitats
(Cowardin et al., 1979). Palustrine wetlands include all
nontidal wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent
emergent plants, or emergent mosses or lichens, as well
as small, shallow open water ponds or potholes.
Palustrine wetlands are often called swamps, marshes,
potholes, bogs, or fens.
Pastureland. A land cover/use category of land
managed primarily for the production of introduced
forage plants for livestock grazing. Pastureland cover
may consist of a single species in a pure stand, a grass
mixture, or a grass-legume mixture. Management
usually consists of cultural treatments: fertilization,
weed control, reseeding or renovation, and control of
grazing. For the NRI, includes land that has a
vegetative cover of grasses, legumes, and/or forbs,
regardless of whether or not it is being grazed by
livestock.
Photographic interpretation. The act of examining
photography images for the purpose of identifying
objects and judging their significance.
Practice factor (P factor - USLE). The ratio of soil
loss with a support practice like contouring,
stripcropping, or terracing, to soil loss with straight-row
farming up and down the slope.
Rainfall and runoff (R factor - USLE). The number
of rainfall erosion index units, plus a factor for runoff
from snowmelt or applied water where such runoff is
significant.
Rangeland. A land cover/use category on which the
climax or potential plant cover is composed principally
of native grasses, grasslike plants, forbs or shrubs
suitable for grazing and browsing, and introduced
forage species that are managed like rangeland. This
would include areas where introduced hardy and
persistent grasses, such as crested wheatgrass, are
planted and such practices as deferred grazing, burning,
chaining, and rotational grazing are used, with little or
no chemicals or fertilizer being applied. Grasslands,
savannas, many wetlands, some deserts, and tundra are
considered to be rangeland. Certain communities of low
forbs and shrubs, such as mesquite, chaparral, mountain
shrub, and pinyon-juniper, are also included as
rangeland.
Remote sensing. The science and art of obtaining
information about an object, area, or phenomenon
through the analysis of data acquired by a device that is
not in contact with the object, area, or phenomenon
under investigation.
Ridge roughness (K factor - WEQ). A measure of the
effect of ridges made by tillage and planting
implements. It is expressed as a decimal from 0.5 to
1.0. Ridges, especially those at right angles to the
prevailing wind direction, absorb and deflect wind
energy and trap moving soil particles. See wind erosion
equation (WEQ).
Riverine System. All wetland and deepwater habitats
contained within a channel, with two exceptions (1)
wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent
emergents, emergent mosses, or lichens; and (2)
habitats with water containing ocean derived salts. One
of the five systems in the classification of wetlands and
deepwater habitats. (Cowardin et al., 1979.)
15
Summary Report
2010 National Resources Inventory
Row crops. A subset of the land cover/use category
cropland (subcategory, cultivated) comprising land in
row crops, such as corn, soybeans, peanuts, potatoes,
sorghum, sugar beets, sunflowers, tobacco, vegetables,
and cotton.
Rural transportation land. A land cover/use category
which consists of all highways, roads, railroads and
associated right-of-ways outside urban and built-up
areas; also includes private roads to farmsteads or
ranch headquarters, logging roads, and other private
roads (field lanes are not included).
S factor. See slope-steepness factor.
Sample point. The second-stage sample unit in the NRI
two-stage sampling scheme. See also Segment.
Segment. An area of land, typically square to
rectangular in shape, that is approximately 40, 100, 160,
or 640 acres in size. Within the segment, sample points
are assigned. Certain data elements are collected for the
entire segment, while others are collected at the
segment points.
Sheet and rill erosion. The removal of layers of soil
from the land surface by the action of rainfall and
runoff. It is the first stage in water erosion.
Slope. The inclination of the soil surface from the
horizontal. Slope percent is the vertical distance divided
by the horizontal distance, then multiplied by 100.
Slope length. The distance from the point of origin of
overland flow to the point where either the slope
gradient decreases enough that deposition begins, or the
runoff water enters a well-defined channel that may be
part of a drainage network or a constructed channel. For
the NRI, length of slope is taken through the sample
point.
Slope-length factor (L factor - USLE). The ratio of
soil loss from the field slope length to that from a 72.6foot length under identical conditions.
Slope-steepness factor (S factor - USLE). The ratio of
soil loss from the field slope gradient to that from a 9
percent slope under otherwise identical conditions.
Used in universal soil loss equation (USLE)
calculations of sheet and rill erosion.
Small built-up areas. A land cover/use category
consisting of developed land units of 0.25 to 10 acres,
which meet the definition of urban and built-up areas.
Soil erodibility factor (K factor - USLE). An
erodibility factor which quantifies the susceptibility of
soil particles to detachment and movement by water.
This factor is used in the universal soil loss equation
(USLE) to calculate soil loss by water.
Soil erodibility index (I factor - WEQ). The potential
soil loss, in tons per acre per year, from a wide, level,
unsheltered, isolated field with a bare, smooth, loose,
and noncrusted surface, under climatic conditions like
those in the vicinity of Garden City, Kansas.
Soil loss tolerance factor (T factor - USLE). The
maximum rate of annual soil loss that will permit crop
productivity to be sustained economically and
indefinitely on a given soil.
Soil survey. The systematic examination, description,
classification, and mapping of soils in an area. The
USDA- NRCS Soil Survey Program produces Soil
Survey Reports, which generally consist of four
principal parts: (1) maps, (2) a map legend, (3) a
description of the soils in the survey area, and (4) a use
and management report. The survey area commonly is a
single county but may comprise parts of counties,
physiographic regions, or other management areas.
Stream. A flow of water in a channel or bed, as a
brook, rivulet, or small river.
T factor (USLE). See soil loss tolerance factor.
Universal soil loss equation (USLE). An erosion
model designed to predict the long-term average soil
losses in runoff from specific field areas in specified
cropping and management systems.
The equation is: A = RKLSCP
where A = Computed soil loss per unit area
R = Rainfall and runoff factor
K = Soil erodibility factor
L = Slope-length factor
S = Slope-steepness factor
C = Cover and management factor
P = Support practice factor
The NRI calculations use location-specific data for the
field in which the NRI sample point falls or that portion
of the field surrounding the point that would be
considered in conservation planning.
16
Summary Report
2010 National Resources Inventory
Unsheltered distance (L factor - WEQ). The
unsheltered distance along the prevailing wind erosion
direction across the field or area to be evaluated. For
the NRI, the unsheltered distance is expressed in feet,
measured through the sample point, parallel to the
prevailing wind direction during the critical wind
erosion period.
Uplands. All land not classified as wetland or
deepwater habitat (Cowardin et al., 1979).
Urban and built-up areas. A land cover/use category
consisting of residential, industrial, commercial, and
institutional land; construction sites; public
administrative sites; railroad yards; cemeteries; airports;
golf courses; sanitary landfills; sewage treatment plants;
water control structures and spillways; other land used
for such purposes; small parks (less than 10 acres)
within urban and built-up areas; and highways,
railroads, and other transportation facilities if they are
surrounded by urban areas. Also included are tracts of
less than 10 acres that do not meet the above definition
but are completely surrounded by Urban and built-up
land. Two size categories are recognized in the NRI:
areas of 0.25 acre to 10 acres, and areas of at least 10
acres.
V factor. See Vegetative cover.
Vegetative cover (V factor - WEQ). The effect of
vegetative cover in the wind erosion equation is
expressed by relating the kind, amount, and orientation
of vegetative material to its equivalent in pounds per
acre of small grain residue in reference condition (small
grain equivalent).
Water areas. A land cover/use category comprising
water bodies and streams that are permanent open
water.
Water body. A type of (permanent open) water area
that includes ponds, lakes, reservoirs, bays or gulfs, and
estuaries.
Water spreading. Diverting or collecting runoff from
natural channels, gullies, or streams with a system of
dams, dikes, ditches, or other means, and spreading it
over a relatively flat area. (See irrigated land.)
water. For purposes of this classification wetlands must
have one or more of the following three attributes: (1)
at least periodically, the land supports predominantly
hydrophytes; (2) the substrate is predominantly
undrained hydric soil; and (3) the substrate is nonsoil
and is saturated with water or covered by shallow water
at some time during the growing season of each year.
(Cowardin, et.al., 1979).
Wetland losses. Wetland losses are described in terms
of gross and net. Net change is defined as the gross gain
minus the gross loss, and can be either positive (net
gain) or negative (net loss) for a given region. Wetland
losses were attributed to one of the following
categories:
a. Development. Loss occurring on land
cover/use category of urban and built-up or
rural transportation.
b. Agriculture. Loss occurring on land cover/use
category of cropland, pastureland, CRP land,
farmsteads or other farmland.
c. Silviculture. Loss occurring on forest land.
d. Miscellaneous. Loss occurring on all other
land cover/use categories including mined
land, rangeland, and other barren lands.
Natural variations in climatic cycles and
hydrology are responsible for the majority of
these losses.
Wind erosion. The process of detachment, transport,
and deposition of soil by wind.
Wind erosion equation (WEQ). An erosion model
designed to predict long-term average annual soil losses
from a field having specific characteristics. The
equation is: E = f(IKCLV)
where E = Estimated average annual soil loss
expressed in tons per acre per year
I = Soil erodibility index
K = Soil ridge roughness factor
C = Climatic factor
L = Equivalent unsheltered distance across the
field along the prevailing wind erosion
direction
V = Equivalent vegetative cover

Summary Report
2010 National Resources Inventory
Explanation of the Tables
On the following pages selected national summary data are displayed in 26 tables. Definitions of terms are
the same as for previous NRIs (see Glossary of Terms above). National totals include results for the 48
conterminous States, Hawaii, and the Caribbean area.
Table 1 presents NRI findings on surface area: Federal land, non-Federal rural land, non-Federal developed
land, and water areas.
Table 2 presents estimates of acreage in six land cover/use components of non-Federal rural land:
cropland, land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), pastureland, rangeland, forest land,
and other rural land.
Tables 3 through 9 provide, respectively, an overview of land use changes from 1982 to 1987, 1987 to
1992, 1992 to 1997, 1997 to 2002, 2002 to 2007, 2007 to 2010, and 1982 to 2010. These tables show all
land conversions, whereas tables 1, 2, 10, 11, and 12 present net land use change.
Table 10 shows estimates of cropland classified as irrigated or nonirrigated, cultivated or noncultivated.
Table 11 presents acres of land cover/use by land capability class and subclass. See “Land capability
classification” in the glossary for more details on this system.
Table 12 presents the distribution of prime farmland by land cover/use. Prime farmland is land that has the
best combination of physical and chemical characteristics for producing food, feed, forage, fiber, and
oilseed crops and is also available for these uses.
Tables 13 and 14 present estimates of soil erosion rates on cultivated cropland, noncultivated cropland,
CRP land, and pastureland. Table 13 shows estimates of rates of sheet and rill erosion, which is erosion
caused by water; table 14 presents estimates of wind erosion rates.
Tables 15 and 16 present estimates of acreages of cropland (cultivated and noncultivated), CRP land, and
pastureland that have erosion rates greater than the soil loss tolerance rate (“T”). The soil loss tolerance rate
is the rate at which the soil can withstand erosion without inherent loss of productivity.
Table 17 shows State-by-State estimates of the extent of Palustrine and Estuarine wetlands and other
aquatic habitats on water areas and non-Federal land.
Table 18 presents State-by-State estimates of Palustrine and Estuarine wetlands on water areas and nonFederal land according to land cover/use type.
Tables 19 through 22 present estimates of changes in acreages in wetland and deepwater habitats from
1992 to 1997, 1997 to 2002, 2002 to 2007, and 2007 to 2010, respectively.
Table 23 presents conservation practices by land cover/use and year.
Table 24 presents acreage on cropland and pastureland by specific land cover/use and year.

Notes:
• Acreages for Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land are established through geospatial processes and administrative records;
therefore, statistical margins of error are not applicable and shown as a dashed line (--). CRP was not implemented until 1985.
• Cropland includes cultivated and non-cultivated cropland.
• When the estimate is 0.0, margins of error are not applicable and shown as a dashed line (--).
• Estimates in red = STOP, these estimates are not reliable. The margin of error is equal to or greater than the estimate so the
confidence interval includes zero.

Notes:
• Acreages for total Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Land and Water areas and Federal land are established through
geospatial processes and administrative records; therefore, statistical margins of error are not applicable and shown as a dashed
line (--). CRP was not implemented until 1985.
• Cropland includes cultivated and non-cultivated cropland.
• When the estimate is 0.0, margins of error are not applicable and shown as a dashed line (--).
• Estimates in red = STOP, these estimates are not reliable. The margin of error is equal to or greater than the estimate so the
confidence interval includes zero.
• 1982 land cover/use totals are listed in the right hand vertical column, titled 1982 total. 1987 land cover/use totals are listed in the
bottom horizontal row, titled 1987 total. The number at the intersection of rows and columns with the same land cover/use
designation represents acres that did not change from 1982 to 1987. Reading to the right or left of this number are the acres that
were lost to another cover/use by 1987. Reading up or down from this number are the acres that were gained from another
cover/use by 1987.

Notes:
• Acreages for total Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Land, water areas & Federal land, and total surface area are established
through geospatial processes and administrative records; therefore, statistical margins of error are not applicable and shown as a
dashed line (--). CRP was not implemented until 1985.
• Cropland includes cultivated and non-cultivated cropland.
• When the estimate is 0.0, margins of error are not applicable and shown as a dashed line (--).
• Estimates in red = STOP, these estimates are not reliable. The margin of error is equal to or greater than the estimate so the
confidence interval includes zero.
• 2007 land cover/use totals are listed in the right hand vertical column, titled 2007 total. 2010 land cover/use totals are listed in the
bottom horizontal row, titled 2010 total. The number at the intersection of rows and columns with the same land cover/use
designation represents acres that did not change from 2007 to 2010. Reading to the right or left of this number are the acres that
were lost to another cover/use by 2010. Reading up or down from this number are the acres that were gained from another
cover/use by 2010.

Notes:
• CRP was not implemented until 1985.
• Cropland includes cultivated and non-cultivated cropland.
• When the estimate is 0.0, margins of error are not applicable and shown as a dashed line (--).
• Estimates in red = STOP, these estimates are not reliable. The margin of error is equal to or greater than the estimate so the
confidence interval includes zero.

Notes:
• CRP was not implemented until 1985.
• Cropland includes cultivated and non-cultivated cropland.
• When the estimate is 0.0, margins of error are not applicable and shown as a dashed line (--).
• Estimates in red = STOP, these estimates are not reliable. The margin of error is equal to or greater than the estimate so the
confidence interval includes zero.

Notes:
• Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land was not implemented until 1985.
• Estimates and estimated margins of error <.01 are shown as 0.00.
• When the estimate is 0.0, margins of error are not applicable and shown as a dashed line (--).
• Estimates in red = STOP, these estimates are not reliable. The margin of error is equal to or greater than the estimate so the
confidence interval includes zero.

• Estimates and estimated margins of error <.01 are shown as 0.00.
• When the estimate is 0.0, margins of error are not applicable and shown as a dashed line (--).
• Estimates in red = STOP, these estimates are not reliable. The margin of error is equal to or greater than the estimate so the
confidence interval includes zero.

Notes:
• Acreages for Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land are established through geospatial processes and
administrative records; therefore, statistical margins of error are not applicable and shown as a dashed line (--). CRP
was not implemented until 1985.
• Cropland includes cultivated and non-cultivated cropland.
• Estimates in red = STOP, these estimates are not reliable. The margin of error is equal to or greater than the estimate
so the confidence interval includes zero.

Notes:
• Acreages for Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land are established through geospatial processes and
administrative records; therefore, statistical margins of error are not applicable and shown as a dashed line (--). CRP
was not implemented until 1985.
• Cropland includes cultivated and non-cultivated cropland.
• Estimates in red = STOP, these estimates are not reliable. The margin of error is equal to or greater than the estimate
so the confidence interval includes zero.

Notes:
• CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) land was not implemented until 1985.
• Cropland includes cultivated and non-cultivated cropland.
• When the estimate is 0.0, margins of error are not applicable and shown as a dashed line (--).
• Estimates in red = STOP, these estimates are not reliable. The margin of error is equal to or greater than the estimate so the
confidence interval includes zero.
