This metadata record describes a computed ratio of county acres of farmland reported in agricultural conservation programs to the total acres of farmland reported for the county. Acres in conservation programs are for the 2012 time period, and reported by survey from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Farm Field Survey. Acres of total farmland were used from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2012 Census of Agriculture. The ratio is intended to provide an indication of the intensity of agricultural management practices.
