AgriStats (APPLIED FOR ACCESS)
A unique web-based information system that is available to all IPNI Members and their Staff. The system is designed to collect yield and associated fertilizer use data from regions in which we conduct our Programs.
Please consult the AgriStats Manual. A glossary section is available within AgriStats for help on the available functions, the current dataset, and the terms and definitions used to describe the data.
Access to AgriStats, its data tables, and reports represents a license to use these materials as a resource and does not grant permission for indiscriminate copying or unauthorized use.

FY2015 gSSURGO Database ReleaseThe FY2015 Gridded Soil Survey Geographic (gSSURGO) Database was released on February 23, These data are derived from a December 1, 2014, snapshot of the Soil Data Mart database. These new data are available in both state-wide tiles and the Conterminous U.S. (CONUS).

19. Description of Gridded Soil Survey Geographic (gSSURGO) Database
Gridded SSURGO (gSSURGO) is similar to the standard USDA-NRCS Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database product but in the format of an Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI®) file geodatabase. A file geodatabase has the capacity to store much more data and thus greater spatial extents than the traditional SSURGO product. This makes it possible to offer these data in statewide or even Conterminous United States (CONUS) tiles. gSSURGO contains all of the original soil attribute tables in SSURGO. All spatial data are stored within the geodatabase instead of externally as separate shapefiles. Both SSURGO and gSSURGO are considered products of the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS) partnership.
The gridded SSURGO (gSSURGO) dataset was created for use in national, regional, and statewide resource planning and analysis of soils data. The raster map layer data can be readily combined with other national, regional, and local raster layers, including the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Crop Data Layer (CDL), and the National Elevation Dataset (NED).

36. National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS) Soil Characterization Database
Pedons: The smallest unit or volume of soil that contains all the soil horizons of a particular soil type. It usually has a surface area of approximately 1 sq m (10.76 sq ft) and extends from the ground surface down to bedrock.
A Microsoft Access database that contains the most commonly requested data from the National Cooperative Soil Survey Laboratories is available. The database includes data from the Kellogg Soil Survey Laboratory and cooperating universities. In addition to commonly requested data, the Access database includes metadata tables that describe the column headings of the laboratory data tables. In the Access database, the results of similar analyses have been combined and are presented in common columns. Users that wish to obtain the original data, which is separated by method codes, can download the data from the Basic or Advanced query pages.
Click on the following link to download the Access database: NCSS Microsoft Access Soil Characterization Database (Zip file; 1.1 MB).
