A stactools package for USDA Cropland Data Layer (CDL) product.

The USDA Cropland Data Layer (CDL) is a crop-specific land cover data layer. The data is provided at 30 m resolution over the Contiguous United States (CONUS) from 2008 to Present. The USDA CDL is produced using satellite imagery from the Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS sensor, the ISRO ResourceSat-2 LISS-3, and the ESA SENTINEL-2 sensors collected during the current growing season.

This package can generate STAC files from TIFF files that link to the Cloud-Optimized GeoTiff (COG) files.

Item types

There are three primary item types in this dataset:

• cropland: Yearly crop-cover classification dataset, optionally with a confidence product.
• cultivated: A boolean raster describing whether a given pixel was "cultivated" in the target year.
• frequency: A set of four rasters that describe how often four main crop types were planted in the past fourteen years.

Examples

There is an example collection at examples/collection.json.

Tiling

While this stactools package can create items for the original, CONUS-wide GeoTIFFS, it also supports tiling the data into more manageable sized Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs. To tile a GeoTIFF:

stac usda-cdl tile --size 500 tests/data-files/2021_30m_cdls.tif tiles

If you have a bunch of hrefs to existing tiles, you can use stac.create_items_from_tiles to intelligantly partition those hrefs by product type and tile:

from stactools.usda_cdl import stac
from pathlib import Path
hrefs = list(Path("tests/data-files/tiles").glob("*.tif"))
items = stac.create_items_from_tiles(hrefs)

Installation

pip install stactools-usda-cdl
