Abstract
These GIS files represent geographic boundaries for lands that are under the protection of NYS Agricultural District Law, administered by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. The boundaries are derived from New York State Agricultural District, 1:24,000-scale, maps produced at county agencies. The district boundaries correspond to tax parcel data. District boundaries are joined into a file representing all of the Agricultural Districts within an entire county. Tax parcel detail is not included in this dataset. Road and utility rights-of-way are only included when they are delineated on the original 1:24,000 scale maps. The data files are in ESRI shapefile format.
Purpose
A Geographic Information System (GIS) file intended to represent the lands within agricultural district. Please note that boundaries may be generalizations; precise information can be obtained from the county or town tax parcel information.
Supplemental Information
An Agricultural District is defined by a list of tax parcels, including properties added during the annual open enrollment. The 1:24,000-scale maps are only updated to reflect open enrollment changes at the eight-year renewal of the district. The Agricultural District boundaries are for use in conjunction with NYS geographical data (ex. NYS Department of Transportation (DOT) 7.5' planimetric data). Boundary data is current to certification date of the district map on file at IRIS at the time the digital data was updated. The certification date is noted in the attribute table field called "Certified". Legislation in 2003 allows lands to be added to districts on an annual basis. Annual additions are not typically included in these shapefiles. When they are included, an additional field, "OEadds303b", is included in the attribute table; dates of the annual additions are listed there. Electronic data provided here may predate newer additions. Refer to the current tax parcel list for each district to confirm the precise agricultural district boundary.

Credit
Cornell IRIS maintains the county produced Agricultural District maps on file under contract with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. In 1996 the maps on file at Cornell IRIS (then CLEARS) were scanned at the NYSDEC as the initial step in creating a digital database of Ag District Boundaries.

Data Quality Information
Attribute Accuracy Report
The attributes were visually compared to original source map title blocks and confirmed against Agriculture Districts profile data provided by the Department of Agriculture and Markets.
Logical Consistency Report
Boundary data reflect Agricultural District boundaries as displayed on 1:24,000-scale maps. When boundaries show areas contained mutually in more than one district in the same county, electronic data reflect this as an overlap. If individual tax parcels are dissolved to form an aggregate boundary, slivers and gaps may be formed by drafting discrepancies. These are visually compared to the map and eliminated when they do not represent intended exclusions. If the map is unclear, the county is contacted to confirm intent. District boundary shapefile data is printed out using DOT planimetric raster data as a base, then proofread against the maps.
Completeness Report
County Agricultural District boundaries are complete to the extent that the original map is complete. Tax parcel detail is not included in this dataset. Rights-of-way for roads, railroads and utilities are only included when they are delineated on the original 1:24,000 scale maps. NOTE: The most current and precise boundary of a district should be verified by referring to the tax parcel information at county agencies.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
Shapefiles are accurate to the quality of the original 1:24000 scale map.
