1/ There are frequently more planted acres in a county than there are PFC or base acres. Thus, shares often exceed 100 percent. In counties with small amounts of PFC or base acres, the share planted can be over 10,000 percent. Data are provided for 2,928 counties that have at least one base acre for at least one commodity. Blank or zero values indicate that the data item is not available for that county for that year.
