International agriculture needs improved capabilities for crop production monitoring and management data. Many countries, using an area frame sample, have begun to integrate GIS and remote sensing in their national crop inventory statistics programs and as the basis for famine early warning systems. The demand for accurate digital data has been heightened by the boom in precision farming which requires analysis of data collected at 1-5 meter spatial intervals. Manipulation and interaction of such data as digital soils maps, field boundary maps, drainage maps, yield monitor images, fertilizer, seed and chemical rate applications are primary to precision farming. Interest is building in the use of remotely sensed data to compare with yield image maps to assist in management decisions. The demand for digital data at all levels will increase dramatically as data are collected for local, regional and national statistics, the management of crop production, transportation to markets, crop insurance decisions, marketing commodity futures and delivery of data to farm consultants. Users in the United States will include county extension educators, crop consultants, ag industry agronomists, farm management groups among others. In a global context the users will include development agencies, national governments, agribusiness and the investment community as well as international organizations concerned with the environmental issues related to agriculture and land use.
