Abstract:
This data set represents level 3 agricultural water management district land use that falls within areas that have been identified by the NRCS as prime farmland (or farmland of unique or local importance). During the process all areas less than .25 acres were removed. The following 5 water management district land use layers were used: LU_SWFWMD_2011, LU_SJRWMD_2009, LU_SFWMD_2008, LU_SRWMD_2011, LU_NWFWMD_2010. The farmland classification was taken from the spatial view based on NRCS_SOILS_JUN12.
Purpose: For use by state soil scientist within ETDM

Process_Description:
Created WMD layer ----------------- Used the following WMD layers, in order of priority: LU_SWFWMD_2011 LU_SJRWMD_2009 LU_SFWMD_2008 LU_SRWMD_2011 LU_NWFWMD_2010 Selected only areas that intersected SV_PRIMEFARMLAND Merged features Dissolved
Created farmland layer --------------------------- export SV_PRIMEFARM (spatial view) to feature class. note: spatial view is based on NRCS_SOILS_JUN12 and is created using the following query: FRMLNDCL = 'ALL AREAS ARE PRIME FARMLAND' OR FRMLNDCL = 'PRIME FARMLAND IF DRAINED AND EITHER PROTECTED FROM FLOODING OR NOT FREQUENTLY FLOODED DURING THE GROWING SEASON' OR FRMLNDCL = 'PRIME FARMLAND IF DRAINED' OR FRMLNDCL = 'FARMLAND OF LOCAL IMPORTANCE' OR FRMLNDCL = 'FARMLAND OF UNIQUE IMPORTANCE'
Overlay of farmland and land use -------------------------------- Select out level 1 = agriculture lands Ran identify command using farmland as input layer and WMD layer as overlay layer Repair geometry Repair geometry Update acres Ran eliminate command selecting ACRES <.25 (with border option) Update acres Repair geometry (no warnings) Ran eliminate command again selecting ACRES <.25 (with border option) Update acres Delete polys less than .25 acres Repair geometry Added FGDLAQDATE based on WMD FGDLAQDATE Add DESCRIPT field based on combination of shortened text from NRCS soils field = FRMLNDCL and Level 3 water management district land use descriptions. Delete unnecessary fields Final dissolve based on FRMLNDCL and LEVEL3 fields

Distribution_Liability:
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
