Buy CLU Shapefiles

Our 2008 Common Land Unit dataset lets you visualize every farming parcel in the United States. Each CLU represents a single contiguous field boundary used by the USDA Farm Service Agency.

Purchase is quick and secure through Stripe checkout. Immediately after payment you’ll receive a download link to the nationwide shapefiles in UTM NAD83 format, ready for any GIS software.

Analysts rely on these boundaries for acreage calculations, crop pattern research and historical land use studies. Because Section 1619 halted public releases after 2008, this dataset is the most recent national CLU available.

Once you’ve downloaded the files you can filter by state or county and start mapping right away. Need more background? See the links in the footer to learn what a Common Land Unit is and how it benefits your projects.
