----------------------------Original message---------------------------- We have a reader who is looking for some data on agricultural crop acreages worldwide. However, he is not looking for country by country stats, but something that will tell him whereabouts these crops are planted -- perhaps 1 degree or 5 degree cells worldwide. It is this part of his request that we have been unable to meet. Specifically, he is after the acreages of wheat, maize (corn), rice and soya beans. The data would preferably be in digital format, though hard copy would be acceptable. Does anyone have any suggested references? ---------- John Cain University of Melbourne Map Library [log in to unmask]
