Adoption of Genetically Engineered
Crops in the U.S.—This data product summarizes the extent of adoption of herbicide-tolerant and insect-resistant genetically engineered crops in the United States. Data cover GE varieties of corn, cotton, and soybeans over the 2000-2007 period, by State.
Crop Production Practices—This web-based delivery
tool allows the user to create customized data summaries
based on information collected through a series of field-level
commodity surveys. Also known as Phase II of the Agricultural
Resource Management Survey (ARMS), this series is USDA's
primary source of information about the current status
and trends in crop production practices for several large-acreage
crops (corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton). This survey
also obtains data on U.S. farmers' agricultural resource
use, as well as data to assess potential environmental
impacts associated with crop production practices. The
ARMS survey yields annual data summaries for field-level
data by crop, including: chemicals and seeds, equipment,
previous crops, highly erodible land, irrigation, and
pest, nutrient and crop residue management practices. Customized
data summaries can be generated for production years beginning
in 1996.
U.S. Organic
Agricultural Production in 2005 —In 2005, for the first time,
all 50 States in the U.S. had some certified organic farmland.
This data set provides information on organic operations and
acreage for crops and livestock (over 40 commodities), with some
tables dating back to 1992. Data for 2000-2005 also include the
number of certified operations, by State (12/06).
Cropping practices—Unsummarized
archived data from the 1990-95 USDA Cropping Practices Survey.
Included are data on nutrient and pesticide use, tillage practices,
and related data for major field crops.
Fertilizer Use and Price
Statistics—U.S.
fertilizer use and prices and nutrients applied per acre
for major farm States, 1964-latest available, for
corn, cotton, soybeans, and wheat.
U.S. Fertilizer Imports/Exports—This
system provides annual data on U.S. imports and exports
of selected fertilizer types. These data are based on
"U.S. Merchandise Imports and Exports" released
monthly by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Foreign Trade
Division. The Economic Research Service (ERS), in collaboration
with The Fertilizer Institute, updates the data monthly
and maintains the year-to-date fertilizer files. The data
reported here are drawn from these files. The system covers
imports from 1995 to date and exports from 1990 to date
for 26 major fertilizer products and materials, and for
82 major trading countries.
Confined Animal and Manure Nutrient Data
System—This system provides state and National data about
confined animal numbers and associated manure nutrients. Data are
accessible as a series of downloadable Excel files by year and animal
type with each file providing all available data for each state,
or as customized reports within 7 standard formats allowing selection
of the desired years, geographic areas, animal types, confinement
status, and data items. These data are based on analysis of the
data collected for the 1982, 1987, 1992, and 1997 Censuses of Agriculture
done by the Economic Research Service and Natural Resources Conservation
Service in conjunction with the National Agricultural Statistics
Service.
Agricultural
Chemical Usage—State
and U.S. fertilizer and pesticide use data for various commodities.
Agricultural chemical use on field crops—State and
U.S. fertilizer and pesticide use data for corn, cotton, soybeans,
wheat, and fall potatoes. Includes pesticide use by active ingredient,
application rates, and acres treated. Also includes data on target
pest by pesticide active ingredient for fall potatoes beginning
with the 1992 data.
