Description: The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Cropland Data Layer (CDL) is an annual raster, geo-referenced, crop-specific land cover data layer produced using satellite imagery and extensive agricultural ground reference data. The program began in 1997 with limited coverage and in 2008 forward expanded coverage to the entire Continental United States. Please note that no farmer reported data are derivable from the Cropland Data Layer.New for the 2024 10-meter CDL, the crop classification utilized remote sensing data from harmonized Sentinel-2 MSI Level-2A, Landsat 8, and Landsat 9 Level-2 Collection 2 Tier-1 products, providing surface reflectance (SR) data across multiple spectral bands, including GREEN, RED, NIR, SWIR1, SWIR2, and RedEdge bands 1-4. To mitigate cloud cover, 10-day median composites of surface reflectance and NDVI were created from the cloud-masked Landsat-Sentinel multi-sensor data for the growing season of 2024. An impervious layer from USGS NLCD 2021 and a digital elevation model from USGS 3DEP were also included ancillary input variables. In addition, mixed sampling strategies and localized training and were applied to the 2024 10m CDL production. Additional information: Z. Li, R. Mueller, Z. Yang, D. Johnson and P. Willis, "Cloud-Powered Agricultural Mapping: A Revolution Toward 10m Resolution Cropland Data Layers," IGARSS 2024 - 2024 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, Athens, Greece, 2024, pp. 4081-4084, doi: 10.1109/IGARSS53475.2024.10641079. PDF available at <https://www.nass.usda.gov/Research_and_Science/Cropland/docs/IGARSS2024_Proceedings_10mCDL_Li_etal.pdf>.The 2024 CDL has a spatial resolution of 10 meters and was produced using satellite imagery from Landsat 8 and 9 OLI/TIRS and ESA SENTINEL-2A and -2B collected throughout the growing season. Additional ancillary inputs were used to supplement and improve the land cover classification including the United States Geological Survey (USGS) 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) Elevation Dataset (NED), and the USGS National Land Cover Database imperviousness data layer. Agricultural training and validation data are derived from the Farm Service Agency (FSA) Common Land Unit (CLU) Program. Some CDL states incorporate additional crop-specific ground reference obtained from the following non-FSA sources which are detailed in the 'Lineage' Section of this metadata: US Bureau of Reclamation, NASS Citrus Data Layer (internal use only), California Department of Water Resources, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Office of Agricultural Water Policy, Cornell University grape/vineyard data, Utah Department of Water Resources, and Washington State Department of Agriculture. The 2021 NLCD was used as non-agricultural training and validation data for the 2024 CDL. Please visit the CDL FAQs and metadata webpages at <https://www.nass.usda.gov/Research_and_Science/Cropland/SARS1a.php> to view a complete list of imagery, ancillary inputs, and ground reference used for a specific state and year.** NOTE - In November 2025, ARIS staff converted the .tif from USDA to a polygon feature class. They then created their own shade set to not have non-Mississippi Categories in the Legend. For full metadata from USDA, see their .htm included in this packet! MARIS staff copied some of the major metadata into this document.
