DEMO

It is not uncommon for more than one crop to be grown on a CLU. These CLU boundaries are derived from the last publicly available distribution from 2008. A single CLU is approximately interpreted as a “field”. A Common Land Unit (CLU) is the smallest unit of land that has a permanent, contiguous boundary, a common land cover and land management, a common owner and a common producer in agricultural land associated with USDA farm programs.

The Ag-Analytics Common Land Unit Boundary API provides a service for which a user can pass a point (x, y coordinates pair), a line, an envelope (bounding box), or a polygon in geojson. The service will send back boundaries in geojson. To retrieve the desired level of boundary, user will need to pass a level parameter in the GET request.
