Agricultural Census & NRI
Note on National Resources Inventory Data
This page uses National Resources Inventory (NRI) data as corrected after notification of discrepancies by Demographia and others.
Even so, substantial discrepancies continue to exist between data reported in the NRI and the more comprehensive USDA Census of Agriculture
at the state level. As a result, the NRI is not considered reliable for analysis at the state level or any more local level.
