Aerial Photography of Minnesota: 2010

U.S. Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency

Digital aerial photography was collected for the entire State of Minnesota during Summer and Fall 2010, as part of the Farm Service Agency's National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP). Due to the late and unanticipated announcement of this NAIP flight, the state did not partner with FSA on this project.
