The Census of Agriculture, produced by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), provides a complete count of America's farms, ranches and the people who grow our food. The census is conducted every five years, most recently in 2022, and provides an in-depth look at the agricultural industry. This layer was produced from data obtained from the USDA National Agriculture Statistics Service (NASS) Large Datasets download page. The data were transformed and prepared for publishing using the Pivot Table geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS Pro and joined to county boundaries. The county boundaries are 2022 vintage and come from Living Atlas ACS 2022 feature layers.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: Chicken productionGeographic Extent: 48 contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto RicoProjection: Web Mercator Auxiliary SphereSource: USDA National Agricultural Statistics ServiceUpdate Frequency: 5 yearsData Vintage: 2022Publication Date: April 2024AttributesNote that some values are suppressed as "Withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual operations", "Not applicable", or "Less than half the rounding unit".

This EnviroAtlas dataset summarizes by county the number of farm operations that sell broiler chickens and the number of heads they sell. The data come from the Census of Agriculture, which is administered every five years by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), and include the years 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017. Operations are categorized into small, medium, or large, based on how many heads they sell. For each county and Census year, the dataset reports the number of farm operations that sell broiler chickens, the number of heads they sold throughout the Census year, and a breakdown of the operations into small, medium, and large. This dataset was produced the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).

Defining the baseline bacterial microbiome is critical towards understanding its relationship with health and disease. In broiler chickens, numerous studies have aimed at defining the core microbiome, yet the core and its possible relationships with health and disease have been difficult to define due to lack of study power. Here, the most comprehensive microbiome-based effort to date in commercial broilers was undertaken. The primary goals of this study included understanding what constitutes core in the broiler gastrointestinal, respiratory, and barn environments; how these core players change across age, geography, and time; and which bacterial taxa correlate with enhanced bird performance in antibiotic-free flocks. Using 2,309 samples from 37 different commercial flocks within a vertically integrated broiler system, and metadata from 549 flocks within that system, the baseline bacterial microbiome was defined. The effects of age, sample type, flock, and successive flock cycles were compared, and results indicate a consistent, predictable, age-dependent bacterial microbiome, irrespective of flock. The tracheal bacterial microbiome of broilers was comprehensively defined for the first time, and interestingly, Lactobacillus was the dominant bacterial taxa in the trachea. Numerous bacterial taxa were identified which were strongly correlated with broiler chicken performance, across multiple tissues. While many positively correlated taxa were identified representing targets for future probiotic development, many negatively associated potential pathogens were identified in the absence of clinical disease, indicating subclinical dynamics occurring that impact performance. Overall, this work provides necessary baseline data for the development of effective antibiotic alternatives for sustainable poultry production. This dataset includes forward and reverse raw sequencing reads for 2,309 broiler chicken gut, respiratory, and litter samples surveyed using 16S amplicon profiling.

This EnviroAtlas dataset summarizes by county the number of farm operations with laying hens and the number of heads they manage. The data come from the Census of Agriculture, which is administered every five years by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), and include the years 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017. Operations are categorized into small, medium, or large, based on how many heads they manage. For each county and Census year, the dataset reports the number of farm operations that manage laying hens, the number of heads on their property at the end of the Census year, and a breakdown of the operations into small, medium, and large.

We flew aerial line transect surveys between March 30 and May 3, 2012, to estimate the abundance of lesser prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) and lesser prairie-chicken leks in four habitat regions in the Great Plains U.S. Estimates were supplemented with data from surveys conducted by Texas Tech University in two regions in the Texas Panhandle and surveys conducted by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation in Oklahoma. We also estimated the number of mixed species leks which contained both lesser and greater prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus cupido) and the number of hybrid lesser-greater prairie-chickens. The study area for 2012 included four regions containing the 2011 estimated occupied lesser prairie-chicken range: 1) Shinnery Oak Prairie Region located in eastern New Mexico-southwest Texas panhandle, 2) Sand Sagebrush Prairie Region located in southeastern Colorado-southwestern Kansas and western Oklahoma Panhandle, 3) Mixed Grass Prairie Region located in the northeast Texas panhandle-northwest Oklahoma-south central Kansas area, and 4) Short Grass/CRP Mosaic located in northwestern Kansas and eastern Colorado. We created a sampling frame over the study area consisting of 536 blocks – each 15 km by 15 km. We flew 512 transects within a probabilistic sample of 256 blocks totaling 7,680 km. We observed 36 lesser prairie-chicken leks, 26 greater prairie-chicken leks, 5 lesser and greater prairie-chicken mixed leks and 85 prairie-chicken groups not confirmed to be lekking for a total of 152 prairie-chicken groups. Texas Tech University and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation flew transects in an additional 27 subjectively selected blocks and detected 10 lesser prairie-chicken leks and 7 groups not confirmed to be lekking. Combining these data we estimated a total of 3,174 lesser prairie-chicken leks (90% CI: 1,672 – 4,705) and 441 lesser and greater prairie-chicken mixed leks (90% CI: 92 - 967) in the study area. We estimated a total of 37,170 individual lesser prairie-chickens (90% CI: 23,632 – 50,704) and 309 hybrid lesser-greater prairie-chickens (90% CI: 191 - 456) in the study area.
