**Executive Summary Supplemental 1**

*The following is a list of textual comments by Sate for Question 13 of
the NAIP 2005 Survey. Question 13 reads, "**Please list any activities
you use NAIP imagery for that have not already been identified in this
survey**". The comments are in an "as is" format, and have not been
altered or modified to correct grammar, spelling, or in any other
manner. If there were no comments from a particular State, the State was
not listed.*

RMA Compliance / Insurance Appraisers

NAP program/Disaster Program

We use this imagery for Emergency Conservation Programs, Disaster
Programs, and locating farm and crop land.

Since this is our first year using the NAIP imagery there is really
nothing to compare anything to. So far it has been helpful, epecially
getting our acreages updated. However it needs to be more timely to make
our compliance truly affective. Also it was a little on the dark side
this year which made it difficult to distinguish the crops.

**FL --**

Hurricane

Would be useful to have better coverage of coastal waters to document
clam bed inventories for compliance checks.

We are hoping to use some of this data to help determine damages in
counties impacted by Hurricane Wilma, however I suspect that the 2 meter
resolution will only provide enough detail to measure areas impacted by
flooding. We are also using it to view and measure cleared areas
affected by citrus chancre.

Use by local and state law enforcement agencies.

We have 2 major highways going through Lee County and the imagery has
been really helpful with that.

Identifying CRP acreages

NAIP should be flown earlier than September for this county.

There is and always will be a great problem of using NAIP imagery to its
fullest extent when you have been operating with a county office that
has averaged 1.8 employees understaffed the last several years. So none.

Road Identification

Conservation Compliance (Sod Buster / Swamp Buster)?

We need to use the imagery for updating any changes made due to land
being plowed up, or land being taken out of production. We need to be
able to measure off of the 2005 imagery.

We are restricted to using imagery for compliance purposes only,
therefore many of the questions are N/A

Cropping History for conservation program eligibility. Identification of
wetland, potholes, sand when used in comparison with other years\'
imagery.

Facility loans, when the producer draws on a map where the new bin,
etc., is going to be constructed.

Assist local, state and federal law enforcement, fire depts. And searce
and rescue activities. RMA and crop insurance inspections.

Non Ag DCP land due to Urban Encroachment

The last two years Traverse County has been flown too early. It is
difficult to see what has been planted if anything.

Can be very useful in working with CED\'s on emergency response since
many of them serve on the County Emergency Board.

Conservation practices

BOUNDARY ENCROACHMENT BETWEEN PRODUCERS

NAIP imagery is very useful to our counties, we are a metropolitian
county and it helps us with record upkeep etc.

Used in conjunction with Plat Maps to determine accessibility to fields
and farms. Used to identify and record location of commodity storage
facilities.

The PLSS option for locating an area is very useful.

Reconstitutions, boundary issues, conservation programs, spotchecks on
CRP

Environmental Assessment

Recording locations of irrigation wells and pivot irrigation systems,
grain bins for farm storage.

CRP Buffer Strips

The PLSS option for selecting a farm is useful when a producer comes in
and is not sure how to identify a piece of land he has just purchased.

FORESTRY

Useful for CRP compliance

NAIP imagery is also useful for CRP farms that were planted to pine and
now have been thinned and to make sure no structures have been built on
CRP land.

NAIP imagery is useful on calculations for producers and agri-businesses
relative to corn production (a close second to cotton when determining a
secondary crop type of importance), forestry/timberland, pastures, and
land in Conservation Reserve Program.

Timber buyers find it very useful.

NAIP imagery if flown at the right time could also be useful for CRP

CRP haying/grazing - verify acreage and use

We use the imagery for checking cropping history for CRP purposes. The
imagery is also used for updating maps for new breaking, oil well site
locations, road constructions, farmstead updates, tree plantings, etc.

CRP verification

**OH --**

We used the NAIP imagery to identify areas that are no longer being used
for agricultural purposes.

To verify changes to the cropland such as building areas and other
non-ag uses

2005 NAIP imagery to this date has been used to only verify houselots,
ponds and other non ag uses to help finish the reconsideration period in
our county.

Recons, Mailing Maps,

Verify the existence of house lots, building lots, industrial
development. However, we were instructed not to use this imagery to
delineate these areas out of CLU because the imagery was not to be used
for measuring. However, it is useful to verify the existence of these
areas.

The imagery is also used to determine if land has been devoted to
nonagricultural uses and compliance with HELC/WC compliance.

Viewing things like house lots and buildings for CLU purposes.

Compliance activities, producer request for information

Determining non-agricultural land uses

We were able to use the NAIP imagery for determination of
non-agricultural areas, eminant domain for highways/roadways. Although
acreage may NOT be accurately determined, verfication of land use may be
accomplished.

PRESENTLY NONE. HOWEVER, FUTURE USES ARE MANY.

The newer color photography makes and acreage report more accurate,
because producers seem to orient themselves better using it rather than
the old black and white photography.

NON-Agricultural Use Determinations

It is useful in determining wet areas for owners for tax assessment.

SD has been utilizing the NAIP imagery to identify areas of prevented

We use this to evaluate sites for all our programs and so does the NRCS
in the office, instead of visiting the site, saving man hours and the
cost of visiting the site like truck, gasoline, etc. Many times the work
can be done entirely in the office. We have used it to settle
misunderstanding by sending a map instead of visiting the farm, again
saving many dollars.
