National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP)

The National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) is a U.S. government initiative that collects high-resolution aerial images of farmland and rural areas during growing seasons. These detailed images help farmers, researchers, and government agencies monitor crop health, plan land use, and detect issues like pests or drought. NAIP imagery is typically captured every few years and made available to the public, providing valuable insights for agriculture management, environmental planning, and land conservation efforts.
