Larry Puckett Kerie Hitt Richard Alexander 1998 1.0.0 Reston, Virginia, USA U.S. Geological Survey http://water.usgs.gov/lookup/getspatial?manure This data set contains county estimates of nitrogen and phosphorus content of animal wastes produced annually for the years 1982, 1987, and 1992. The estimates are based on animal populations for those years from the 1992 Census of Agriculture (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1995) and methods for estimating the nutrient content of manure from the Soil Conservation Service (1992). The data set includes several components.. 1. Spatial component - generalized county boundaries in ARC/INFO format/1/, including nine INFO lookup tables containing animal counts and nutrient estimates keyed to the county polygons using county code. (The county lines were not used in the nutrient computations and are provided for displaying the data as a courtesy to the user.) The data is organized by 5-digit state/county FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) code. Another INFO table lists the county names that correspond to the FIPS codes. 2. Tabular component - Nine tab-delimited ASCII lookup tables of animal counts and nutrient estimates organized by 5-digit state/county FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) code. Another table lists the county names that correspond to the FIPS codes. The use of trade names is for identification purposes only and does not constitute endorsement by the U.S. Geological Survey. These estimates are intended for large-scale ground- and surface-water analyses of nutrient sources or changes in these sources. These data on nutrients in manure can be compared to fertilizer inputs of nutrients. The amount of nitrogen and phosphorus present in manure (in kilograms) has been calculated for each county of the United States. The procedure is identical to that of Smith and others (1997), which covered the year 1987. Nutrient estimates for the years 1982 and 1987 were computed again for the data set here, and the results were checked against the results computed previously by Alexander (written commun., 1992) for those years to ensure that they were identical. Limitations.. The estimates are county level and are based on estimates of the nutrient content of animal manure produced per 1,000 pounds of animal weight on a daily basis. One important limitation of the animal population numbers from the Census of Agriculture is that for some counties and animal classes, no data are reported. This limitation reportedly is the result of restrictions on including animal population data for counties where animal production is dominated or limited to one business or farm. These data therefore are considered trade secrets and may not be included in the county-based data. This limitation on population data at the county level results in discrepancies when county-based data are summed and compared to national animal population totals. At the present we have no way of estimating animal populations for those counties with missing data and further have no way of determining which counties are missing data. Therefore, the animal manure, nitrogen and phosphorus estimates for some counties are an underestimate of the total nutrient form animal manure in those counties. References_Cited..

See supplemental information. PREPARE COUNTY POLYGON COVERAGE. The county polygons are provided for the convenience of users to display the data for the conterminous United States and were not used in computing the nutrient estimates. (Although Alaska and Hawaii are included in the data base, those county lines are not included in the set of polygons.) The county polygons are from a generalized version of the 1:2,000,000 Digital Line Graph (DLG) series data. The generalized version was designed for page-size display at the 1:34,000,000 scale and does not contain some of the smaller county equivalents such as the independent cities in Virginia. Any similar county coverage containing 5-digit state/county FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) codes may be substituted by the user. The FIPS code is necessary as a key to the lookup tables of manure data. The U.S. Geological Survey Cartography and Publications Program prepared the county spatial data in 1988 by generalizing the 1:2,000,000 county DLG data using ARC/INFO. Here is the general procedure. Due to the magnitude of the data to be handled, the country was divided into EAST and WEST portions along the Mississippi River These regional coverages were again divided into an exterior arc coverage, containing those arcs that defined the universal polygon and an interior arc coverage. So as to not generalize counties into oblivion and to keep some degree of recognizability, interior arcs were treated as if the editing scale was 1:17,000,000, while exterior arcs, (those displaying the most curvature), were handled at the scale of 1:34,000,000. The general ARCEDIT strategy applied to each coverage went as follows: - Set cover-id of all arcs to 1 - Split arcs along key visual points - Densify arcs with a tolerance of 680 meters (340 meters for interior arcs) - Generalize arcs at 6800 meters (3400 meters for interior arcs) - Spline arcs at 680 meters (340 meters for interior arcs) - Generalize arcs at 680 meters (340 meters for interior arcs) - Remove arcs and labels for exterior polygons (islands) with an area of 185,000,000 sq meters or less - With the use of SNAPCOVERAGE, SNAPFEATURES, and a snapping tolerance of 1000 meters, snap the nodes of interior arcs to the arcs of the exterior coverage - Retrieve exterior arcs into interior coverage with the GET command - MAPJOIN sectionals into complete U.S. coverage - Unsplit arcs Each polygon (county) has only one label and a valid FIPS Code. NOTES: 1. Some polygons with an area of 185,000,000 square meters or less were not deleted due to their importance for county identification. Thus, the larger polygons (islands) that distinguish the counties of San Juan and Island in the state of Washington and the arcs that make up the counties of Kings and New York in the state of New York were not eliminated. 2. For islands within the Great Lakes that are under Canadian jurisdiction, a cover-id of 9999 and a FIPS Code of 99999 were designated. However, the Great Lakes themselves were coded with a Cover-id of 9999 and a FIPS Code of 90000. 3. Only the following independent cities of Virginia are displayed at this scale: Chesapeake (FIPS code 51550), Hampton (51650), Newport News (51700), Richmond (51760), Suffolk (51800), and Virginia Beach (51810). [Arlington (51013) was added April 1989.] 4.

The Census of Agriculture provided numbers of animals for 1982, 1987, and 1992 (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1995). The counts represent the numbers of animals on December 31 of those years. The codes for the data fields are listed below. The older codes for 1987 and 1982 are included as cross references. 1992 1987 1982 Census Census Census of AG Explanation of AG of AG CODE CODE CODE ------ ---------------------------------------------- ------ ------- 140020 Beef cows (number) 966 967 140036 Milk cows (number) 984 985 140052 Heifers and heifer calves (number) 1002 1003 140068 Steers, steer calves, bulls, and bull calves 1006 1007 (number) 150002 Hogs and pigs (number) 1094 1095 170002 Sheep and lambs (number) 1183 1184 180002 Horses and ponies (number) 1210 1211 160003 Chickens 3 months old or older (number) 1222 1223 160018 Pullet chicks and pullets under 3 months old 1243 1244 (number) 160020 Broilers and other meat-type chickens (number) 1247 1248 160022 Turkeys (number) 1251 1252 Certain cattle categories (140002, 140018) were not included in the animal wastes estimates because the populations are accounted for under other categories. 140002 = total of all cattle and calves (140018+140052+140068) 140018 = cows and heifers that have calved (140020+140036) Ducks, geese, pigeons, pheasants, quail and other poultry were not included in the estimates either. Nutrient estimates were based on nutrient content of daily wastes produced per 1000 pounds of animal weight, which were obtained from the Soil Conservation Service (1992). The estimated animal weights were obtained the from the National Agricultural Statistics Service (K. Cavett, verbal communication, 1990). Estimates of nutrient content, in some cases, represent an average of the reported range of values or are assumed values. The nutrient estimate for the years 1982, 1987 and 1992 are calculated as: Number * (avg wt / 1000 lbs) * nutrient * .4536 kg/lb * days of content per animals in year lbs/day/1000 lbs Because 1992 is a leap year, the calculation uses 366 days per year as the number of days per year. The following SAS program describes how the the estimation method was carried out for the state of Wyoming. The estimates were carried out on a state by state basis, and then the results were appended for the nation. For each State there is a record with a pseudo county code of 998, "All other counties." This record sums the data that were not published because of Census disclosure rules; no data is published that would disclose the operations of an individual farm. As part of the review of this data set, we learned that TURKEY-HENS are a subset of TURKEYS. Instead of re-running the SAS program, we subtracted the estimates for TURKEY-HENS from the totals for nitrogen and phosphorus. /* */ /* SAS program to create input files for each year with nutrient */ /* data and populations by county for ARC/INFO. */ /* */ /* By: Lynn Malacane 8/95 */ /* */ /* Notes: */ /* */ /* 1.
