WASHINGTON DAIRIES
Description:
The dairy_wa.zip file is a zip file containing an Arc/Info export file and a text document. Note the DISCLAIM.TXT file as these data are not verified. Map extent: statewide. Input Source: Address database obtained from Wa Dept of Agriculture. Data was originally developed under EPA grant. Related table has information on 600 dairies that SCS surveyed. Addresses that didnt match in software were determined with the help of dairy inspectors at AG, SCS and Ecology. Estimate of cows/farm was figured by assuming an average of 55 pounds of milk are produced per cow per day. Accuracy of farm locations is variable. Most are probably within 1 mile but could possibly be off by much more. This data was obtained from the Washington State Department of Ecology.
