I'm sure some of the other white counties are similar. Obviously that was a USDA miss, awesome map.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36234687.post-27185051962574018912013-11-14T13:03:09.515-08:002013-11-14T13:03:09.515-08:00Why wheat, as opposed to say barley?

For mor...Dave, welcome to the world of NASS data. <br /><br />For more info on the 999 and 888 codes, see here: http://www.nass.usda.gov/Data_and_Statistics/County_Data_Files/Frequently_Asked_Questions/county_list.txt<br /><br />The 999 county codes are aggregates. If the district = 99 & county = 999 then the value is a state total. If district != 99 then they are district totals. District 88 and county 888 are special cases where, for some reason, the district or county is not individually reported so they are reported in a "special group". <br /><br />FWIW, there's also an API for pulling NASS data through a restful API: http://quickstats.nass.usda.gov/api<br /><br />the api does require an API key but they give them out liberally. <br /><br />-JD <br /><br />JD Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671705961117672395noreply@blogger.com
