Conservation Reserve Program Acreage by County

This dataset contains information regarding the acreages of land currently (as of 2004) enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) distributed by county and the year the CRP contract was initiated (1987-2004, excluding 1994 and 1995). Additionally, it contains total acreages of land enrolled in the CRP distributed by county and the contract year (1987-2003). USDA Farm Service Agency's (FSA) Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is a voluntary program available to agricultural producers to help them safeguard environmentally sensitive land. Producers enrolled in CRP plant long-term, resource-conserving covers to improve the quality of water, control soil erosion, and enhance wildlife habitat. In return, FSA...

Pipeline density (18km) in the sage-grouse conservation area

Data represents an estimate of oil and natural gas pipeline densities in the intermountain west based on data collected depicting pipeline locations in the study area. These data represent (for the most part) only larger volume, long distance pipelines and not the shorter, lower volume (so-called 'flowlines') associated with specific fluid energy producing sites. HOWEVER, THESE DATA ONLY REPRESENT THAT PORTION OF ACTUAL ON-THE-GROUND AND BURIED PIPELINES THAT HAVE BEEN MAPPED and that we were able to acquire durng th course of our study. THEREFORE, THIS DATASET IS KNOWN TO BE INCOMPLETE. The actual pipline locations are not shown here. Rather this is a grid representing pipeline density in Km/Km^2. DUE TO THE SENSITVE...
