State & County Estimates
lRun large-scale classification across analysis districts/entire state/project area
lCompare large-scale regression with direct expansion estimates of JAS data
lSum satellite and non-satellite areas for state total
lProduce county and state indications of major crops
–For consideration in setting official estimates
•Full scene classifications (large scale) are run wherever the regression or pixel ratio estimates are usable.
•Estimates derived from the classification are compared to using the ground data only for the same area to make one final check.
•State estimates are made by summing pixel based estimators where available and ground data only estimators everywhere else.  County estimates are then derived from the state estimates using a similar approach.
•Final numbers are delivered to state field offices and the NASS Agricultural Statistics Board for their use in setting the official final estimates.
•The states also have administrative data, such as FSA certified acres at the county level, and other NASS survey data.  Every 5th year, NASS also performs the Census of Agriculture at the county level.
