Data Description:
This is an experimental program to provide vector and grid-cell
soils data. Data is available on a county basis.
The program was funded by state SCS offices, thus extensive
data is available for some states, and none for others.
Media:
9-track 800bpi tape
Aquisition Costs:
The SCS has not set up a distribution system, so data is provided
on a case by case basis.
For areas that have not been digitizied, cost-sharing information
may be available from the individual state soil conservationists.
