<br />When GIS data was not available for a certain crop, but it was accounted by the CAS or
<br />COA that value was used in our calculations, If there were both CAS and COA, but not
<br />GIS then an average of the CAS and COA data value was use, Com was a unique
<br />crop since it could either be used as silage or as grain. The CAS generally provided a
<br />total acreage of either silage or grain. In the event that there was no CAS data a SO/50
<br />split of the GIS acreage or total com was given to corn silage and corn grain.
<br />
<br />There were some very blatant discrepancy between the GIS acreage and the CAS/COA
<br />acreages for some crops, This was found mostly in the Alfalfa and Grass Pasture
<br />acreage data. Counties that had a large discrepancy in Alfalfa acreage were: Eagle,
<br />Mesa, and Moffat counties and the Grass Pasture acreage discrepancies were in: Delta,
<br />Eagle, Garlield, Grand, Gunnison, La Plata, Moffat, Montezuma, Montrose, Ouray,
<br />Pitkin, and Routt counties. A large difference in CAS/COA acres and GIS acres was
