Cropland
Cropland for calendar year consists of all land from which crops were harvested including field crops, hay, fruits and vegetables. Acres that have more than one crop (i.e. wheat, soybeans and hay) harvested are counted only once. Data for the years beginning with 1978 are based on a sample survey conducted by the crop and livestock reporting service, while prior data were obtained from a state annual farm census. The state figure represents the sum of counties, but state totals in years prior to 1977 do not include any data for the counties in which a census was not conducted. Beginning in 2002 data are reported from Census of Agriculture.
