GIS shapefile: Hardee County, Florida irrigated agricultural land-use for the 2018 growing season
Vector Digital Data Set (Polygon)
https://doi.org/10.5066/P9VDG4OT
This data set consists of a detailed digital map of the areal extent of fields and a summary of the irrigated acreage for the 2018 growing season developed for Hardee County, Florida. Selected attribute data that include crop type, irrigation system, and primary water source were collected for each irrigated field.
The purpose of this study is to provide a spatial data set representing the agricultural irrigated land-use for Hardee County, Florida for the period between November 2017 and September 2018. Spatial data were prepared as part of a cooperative study between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) in an effort to field-verify each irrigated field and to provide a set of attributes to each field, including crop type, current irrigation system, and the primary water source.

Source information used in support of the development of the data set.
Using the Florida Statewide Agricultural Irrigation Demand (FSAID) agricultural irrigated lands (ILG) map (version 4) as a starting point, numerous other data sources and layers were added to create a preliminary map of irrigated crops in Hardee County. These additional data included a point layer of the current agricultural irrigation consumptive water-use permits (CUP) for the Southwest Florida Water Management District and South Florida Water Management District along with a shapefile with each permit property boundary. The locations of the District’s CUPs (for both wells and surface-water intakes), and the permit property boundary associated with each withdrawal point, helped identify fields that were not mapped on the original FSAID map. Additional fields were added to the preliminary map by digitizing at the 1:5,000 reference scale when evidence of irrigation equipment was visible from ESRI's ArcGIS Online World Imagery base map and Google Earth imagery. Field visits were made by USGS staff to Hardee County between November 2017 and September 2018 to visually observe all potential irrigated fields. Attribute data were collected for each irrigated field including crop type, irrigation system type, and primary water source (if visibly able to confirm). The field maps were then modified and corrected, and revised map was created. This newly created map was presented to FDACS and The Balmoral Group as well as the local U.S. Department of Agriculture Field Office and University of Florida County Extension Office for review and comments. Once their concerns were addressed and modifications made, a final shapefile was prepared. From this final shapefile, the summary file Table_Hardee_County was created for Hardee County.
