Today, December 19, 2005, WisconsinView.org published the USDA's Wisconsin Farm Service Agency 2005 NAIP 1-meter true-color aerial photography for free download.  NAIP stands for National Agriculture Imagery Program.

We believe this is the first time a wall-to-wall statewide dataset of this resolution has been made available for public download in Wisconsin.  (If you know of another example, please send me the link).

The data (representing a version-1 product) are available only as county mosaics in MrSID format at this time.  Next year the corresponding Quarter Quad TIFF images that make up the mosaics will also be made available along with the quality corrected version-2 mosaics).

Some Differences from the 2004 NAIP:

1-meter rather than 2-meter.
Data compression closer to 30:1 rather than 50:1
Files sizes MUCH larger
Shapefile parts in Zip bundle
SID file parts in Zip bundle
FGDC metadata and Browse jpeg outside of Zip bundle
FAQ page available through download interface and home page

The data are available from:  http://www.wisconsinview.org/form.php

Enjoy your free data.
