[Pollinator] USGS data on Annual Estimated Pesticide Use in the U.S.

[Sellers, Elizabeth]

Hi Folks,

FYI - this USGS resource (part of the Pesticide National Synthesis Project,
which began in 1992) provides county-level data for download and map
graphics and graphs indicating annual estimated pesticide use in the U.S.
between 1992 and 2011 (by year - map, and by crop - graph). For more
information, note the "Sources of Data" (3 USGS reports) listed in the menu
on the left.
