Description:

Abstract:: This shapefile contains estimates of nitrogen-fertilizer sales for the state of Florida in 1990 as reported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (1990) and by Jerald Fletcher (West Virginia University, written commun., 1992). Nitrogen-fertilizer sales estimates in this coverage are reported for each county polygon in tons of actual nutrient sold (inorganic nitrogen, phosphate, and potash) as distinct from total tons of fertilizer product.
Purpose:: The data are created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.
Supplemental_Information:: Polygon

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:: The data are summarized for fertilizer years (i.e. the 1987 fertilizer year runs from July 1, 1986 to June 30, 1987). The polygons representing county boundaries in the conterminous United States, as well as lakes, estuaries, and other nonland-area features were derived from the Digital Line Graph (DLG) file representing the 1:2,000,000-scale map in the National Atlas of the United States (1970). The nitrogen-fertilizer sales estimates in this coverage are intended for use in estimating regional fertilizer sales, and in producing visual displays and mapping relative rates of fertilizer sales across broad regions of the United States.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: In 2001, the GeoPlan Center downloaded this data in shapefile format from the Georgia GIS Data Clearinghouse http://www.gis.state.ga.us/Clearinghouse/clearinghouse.html. When received, the geographic extent of the data was the Southeastern U.S. and it was in the following projection: Albers, Datum: NAD27, Spheroid: CLARK1866, Units: Meters. The data was then reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN and clipped to the State ofFlorida. DESCRIPT item added based on CNTYNAME and lowercase characters within the attribute table were upcased.
Process_Date: 2002

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: 1.) Clipped to the State of Florida 2.) DESCRIPT item added based on CNTYNAME 3.) Dropped item WORKB. 4.) Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) 5.) Upcased all character records
