Appendix 3-B: General Land Cover Classes Derived from the Cropland Data Layer 

(CDL) 

USEPA OPP used the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Cropland Data Layer 

(CDL) to obtain a detailed spatial distribution of crops and other land cover classes1. 

While the CDL identifies 111 agricultural land classes and 133 total land classes, not all of these 

land classes are equally reliable. Accuracy assessments documented by USDA NASS on a stateby-state basis show that the CDL is relatively accurate (90% or greater) for major commodity 

crops, such as corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton, that are grown over extensive contiguous 

areas, and for which the USDA has sufficient independent data for training and quality 

assurance analysis2. However, a high frequency of error for a number of crops suggests that the 

CDL may not be suitable for minor crops. For SAM, USEPA OPP aggregated these individual 

crops into broader crop groups to reduce the level of uncertainty. 

Table 1 provides a crosswalk between the Cropland Data Layer (CDL) value and class name with 

the general class grouping, and the general grouping reclassification value assigned to each CDL 

value. Table 2 aggregates the reclassified CDL values into the general groupings, including the 

CDL classes that were identified as double-cropped. Thus, for instance, areas that were 

identified as double crop winter wheat and soybeans in CDL, would be included in the soybean 

(40) general group and in the wheat (50) general group.

Following these tables is a description of the analysis that went into the crop groupings.

3-B.1 Analysis of Crop Land Data Layer (CDL) for Crop Groupings

The USDA NASS CropLand Data Layer (CDL) represents numerous individually mapped crops 

developed using satellite imagery. Since 2008, the CDL includes yearly updates for the entire 

lower 48 states. Each individually mapped unit is a 30 meter square pixel and covers over 100

individual crop types. However, before proceeding to use of this product, USEPA OPP has 

evaluated the data in the context of how well the product accounts for uncertainties relating to 

crop rotations, potential future changes in cropping patterns, and inherent errors and 

omissions within the data set. 

Because the NASS Cropland Data Layer (CDL) provides detailed spatial distributions of 

numerous crops, it offers promise for defining the extent of the pesticide use area (based on 

crop/ land use) for proximity analysis. Based on extensive accuracy assessments documented in 

the state-by-state metadata, the CDL may be sufficiently accurate for major crops, such as corn, 

soybeans, wheat, cotton, alfalfa, and other crops grown over extensive contiguous areas. 

However, a high frequency of error for a number of crops as documented by USDA NASS

suggests the CDL may not be suitable for minor crops that would most benefit from the spatial 

detail without additional processing of the data.

One potential solution to reduce the level of uncertainty in crop distributions is to aggregate 

the individual crops into broader crop groupings. For example, the individual vegetable crops 

could be aggregated into a single vegetable group or the various orchard crops can be 

aggregated into a single orchard group.

USEPA OPP selected the CDL in California for analysis because the diversity of agriculture 

offered a chance to examine a wide range of CDL covers, including those with a high error rate 

in the accuracy assessments. The sections and tables below summarize the analysis. A separate 
7

spreadsheet – Appendix 3-B Crop Group Error Analysis CA2010 NASS CDL.xlsx – contains the 

worksheets used to generate the analysis.

3-B.1.1 Spatial Data Layers Used for the Analysis: 

USDA NASS Cropland Data Layers for CA, covering 2007, 2009, and 20103. 

National Land Cover Data, 2006, for CA4

Public Land Survey at 1 square mile section grids for CA5

CDPR PUR Data for Fresno County6

All of the data layers were re-projected into a common projection (using the USGS NA Albers 

projection) for spatial analysis.

The CDL data were in either 30-m or 56-m pixels; the NLCD was in 30-m pixels. The 56-m data 

sets were resampled to 30-m pixels for comparisons. The PLS grids were also converted to 30-m 

pixels for analysis.

For crop comparisons, OPP downloaded 5 years (2005-09) of “Site Name” (crop use) from the 

California Pesticide Information Portal (CALPIP) for Fresno County. This provided OPP with a 

listing of crops on which pesticides were applied for each section within Fresno County. It is not 

necessarily a complete listing of all crops since crops on which no pesticide was applied are not 

included. However, OPP believes it does represent an excellent source of independent data for 

evaluation of the CDL.

3-B.1.2 Examining the CDL Accuracy Assessment

USDA NASS provides an accuracy assessment in the metadata for the CDL for each state7. For 

agricultural land uses, the satellite imagery and interpretations are compared to Common Land 

Unit (CLU) data provided by the Farm Service Agency (FSA). The CLUs represent “the smallest 

 

3 The Cropland Data Layers for CA were downloaded from the USDA Geospatial Data Gateway 

(http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/). The metadata for the CDL were included in the downloads. Metadata are 

also available through http://www.nass.usda.gov/research/Cropland/metadata/meta.htm.

Reporting (PUR) site at http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/pur/purmain.htm.

unit of land that has a permanent, contiguous boundary” (farm fields or plots on which crops 

are grown). The FSA collects data on the actual crops grown on each CLU every year, providing 

the most accurate data source for providing a ground truth of the CLD. A portion of the CLU 

data is used to train the CDL dataset and another portion is used to calculate accuracy 

measures for the CDL. Results of the accuracy analysis are specific for each state and can be 

found in the accompanying CDL metadata. 

Two types of accuracy are considered. Producer’s accuracy refers to the probability that the 

ground truth pixel is correctly mapped with the CDL (e.g., a specific crop field in the CLU is 

correctly mapped by the CDL) and measures errors of omission (the correct crop in the CLU is 

missed in the CDL). User’s accuracy refers to the probability that a pixel from the CDL matches 

the ground truth data (e.g., a crop pixel in CDL correctly matches the underlying CLU) and 

measures errors of commission (the crop pixel in CDL incorrectly places the actual crop into a 

different category). NASS tries to obtain >90% accuracy for the major crops and, in states that 

are dominated by major crops (such as corn, soybeans, and wheat), the overall CDL accuracies 

are high. 

To evaluate the utility of the CDL for other crops and for areas that have a diversity of crops, 

OPP focused on California. Table 3 summarizes the accuracy assessment for the CDL in CA for 

2007, 2009, and 2010. The crops have been sorted into general categories. The CDL achieved 

>90% accuracy (producer) in most years for corn, cotton, rice, and alfalfa. However, many 

minor crops had a high percentage of omission errors, meaning the CDL did not identify the 

crop (potentially underestimating the actual extent of the underlying crop) and/or commission 

errors, meaning the CDL mistakenly identified something else as that crop (potentially 

overestimating the actual extent of the crop).

This analysis of NASS’s accuracy assessment indicates that the CDL may be sufficiently 

accurate for the major crops, but may not be suitable for minor crops that would most 

benefit from the spatial detail without additional processing of the data.

3-B.2 Comparing CDL Crop Identifications from Year to Year, Fresno County, CA

As an additional analysis step, OPP compared how frequently CDL pixels matched with each 

other from year to year. For crops that are not likely to rotate fields from year to year (such as 

tree/orchard and vineyards), OPP would expect a high percentage of CDL pixels to match up 

from year to year. For annual crops that are often rotated between fields (such as most of the 

grain, row, and vegetable crops), OPP would not necessarily expect a high frequency of exact 

crop matches between years, but would expect to see a high frequency of matches with 

compatible crops (most of the other annual crops, except for crops such as rice which require 

specific soil conditions). 
9

OPP conducted a CDL matching analysis for the 3 years of CDL data for Fresno County, CA. OPP

used the 30-m pixels for the 2010 and 2007 CDL data and resampled the 2009 CDL data at 30-m 

pixels. OPP used the combine tool in ArcGIS Spatial Analyst to combine the data layers for the

different years. The values in the newly created combined raster dataset represented the 

combinations of CDL classes from the individual years. These year-to-year combinations were 

divided into three classes:

(1) Exact match: The CDL class for the pixel in one year exactly matched the CDL class for 

that same pixel in the previous year. 

(2) Compatible match: For annual crops (this covered all of the grain crops except for rice, 

all of the row crops, alfalfa, hay, and all of the vegetable crops), the match was 

considered compatible if the pixels were classified as annual crops or fallow in both 

years compared. For crops that are likely to remain for multiple years (orchards, grapes, 

strawberries, sod) or for rice, which requires specific soil conditions that are, in general, 

poorly suited for other crops, compatible matches generally required an exact match in 

CDL class from year to year. Fallow was also considered a compatible match for grapes, 

strawberries, sod, and rice. “Other tree nuts” and “other tree fruits” were considered 

compatible matches for the various tree nut and tree fruit crops, respectively. 

(3) Conflicting match: Any combinations of agriculture and nonagriculture or annual and 

perennial crops from year to year were considered conflicting matches.

Table 4 summarizes the percentage of CDL pixels with matching, compatible, or conflicting crop 

classes using the 3 available years of CDL data (2010, 2009, and 2007). Few crop classes had a 

relatively high percentage of exact matches. Only alfalfa, cotton, grapes, almonds, and 

herbaceous grassland (an NLCD class) approached 50% exact matches in one or more years. 

Many of the grain, row, and vegetable crops achieved 75% or more compatible matches 

between years. On the other hand, many of the orchard, berry, and miscellaneous crops had a 

high percentage of conflicting matches. The matching analysis alone cannot discern whether 

the conflicting matches are due to omission (underestimating the extent of the actual crop) or 

commission (overestimating the extent of the actual crop).

The high percentage of conflicting matches in CDL pixels from year to year reflects the 

accuracy assessments in the CDL metadata. It also suggests that any applications in a 

proximity analysis should rely on multiple years of CDL to account for mismatch errors. It 

should be noted that any fine-tuning or improvements in the interpretation of the satellite 

imagery from year to year have not been included in this analysis. Such an analysis would 

require re-training the data sets from previous years.
10

3-B.3 Grouping the CDL Crop Identifications into More General Crop/Land Use Groups 

Viable crop groupings should account for agricultural similarities, likely rotations, and the ability 

of the CDL to distinguish between crop signals from remote sensing imagery. OPP looked at a 

couple of similar crop groupings – one used by USGS in a recent publication (Baker and Capel, 

2011) and one proposed by GESTF (Amos et al, 2010) (Table 5).

Grouping the CDL crops into more general crop/land use groups increased the frequency of 

exact or compatible matches in CDL pixels between years and reduced the frequency of 

conflicting matches (Table 6). However, the percentage of conflicting matches still remains 

relatively high in several categories – citrus (36-43% conflicts), orchards and grapes (32-46% 

conflicts), and rice (34-64% conflicts). 

USEPA OPP’s Biological and Economic Analysis Division (BEAD) did a similar pixel comparison 

between the 2009 and 2010 CDL layers for the entire state of California (Table 7). While the 

citrus and orchard/grape categories had similar percentages of conflicting matches as we found 

in Fresno County, rice had a much lower percentage of conflicts (8%) and a higher percentage 

of exact matches (85%) for the entire state. An analysis of the spatial distribution of rice in CA 

indicates that the fields are smaller and more discontinuous within Fresno County than in the 

northern part of the Central Valley. This suggests that one approach to improving the utility of 

the CDL in proximity analysis may be to provide a buffer around the CDL pixels. 

The improvement in the frequency of compatible matches in most land use groups indicates 

that some of the uncertainties and apparent errors in the CDL classes may be reduced using 

more general crop or land use groups such as those used by USGS or proposed for use by 

GESTF. Such groups need to take into consideration not only likely cropping similarities and 

likely rotations in land use over time, but also the ability of the CDL to distinguish signals 

from remote sensing imagery.

3-B.4 Comparison of CDL and CDPR PUR in Identifying Crop Occurrences within 

Sections in Fresno County, CA

Tables 8-10 provide a summary of the analysis completed by OPP using CDPR data compared 

with the available published crop groups and a modification representing OPP’s proposed crop 

grouping scheme. These tables are included as Attachments to this report. An important 

consideration is that this analysis was conducted on CDL crops and groups in California. The 

larger data set from CDL includes other crops. OPP has included a final cross walk of the 

preferred crop groups with those from the California analysis. There are individual crops 

mapped in other parts of the US that are not reflected in this analysis and those crops will need 

to be included in the cross walk table as part of a future effort. 
11

Table 8 provides a crosswalk between site uses (crops) listed in CA DPR’s Pesticide Use Reports 

(PUR) and the CDL class names. Table 9 provides a comparison of the CDL and PUR for 

individual CDL class names. It is important to note that the PUR data represent a surrogate for 

use based on reported pesticide use to specific crops and may not reflect all crop locations (i.e. 

organic crops). There is also likelihood that the CDL may overestimate the extent of most 

grain, hay/pasture, orchard and vineyard crops. Conversely there is a likelihood of CDL 

underestimating row and vegetable crops. Table 10 provides a comparison of the CDL and PUR 

for USGS land use groups. For this analysis it is worth noting the improvement in estimation for 

row crops, particularly when grouped as “other crops” with grain crops, and in vegetables and 

ground fruit.
