Here’s an update on CropScape from John-
Although Cropspace uses federal government data, this apparent fugitive is not a government publication. Here’s the GPO reply:
“We appreciate your suggestion that Cropspace be added to the FDLP and be assigned a SuDoc classification number. However, our research shows that this publication is a product of a George Mason researcher, and therefore does not fit our scope requirements.”
