Now the Washington State Department of Agriculture offers tools on its website that make crop location information more accessible to farmers, agencies, ag groups and the public.
Perry Beale, senior crop mapping specialist, is the main developer of the WSDA's website tool.
"You can use the map to get a visual picture and download the data behind the map such as the section level data, county data and statewide data," he said. "Having the information available can help the producer manage his workload and know surface and groundwater issues."
It uses ArcGIS Explorer and one map has this intro/disclaimer:

We at Ourcoumminities.org are dedicated to informing Massachusetts about what it means to invest in our communities and what could happen if we don't.
So, it offers slick map of how much aid cities and towns are losing. And, local papers are writing about it. BUT, the map is not embeddable, so as much as Braintree Patch and others write about it, they can't embed it in their coverage. I encourage Ourcommunities.org to et on the embeddable band wagon!
