The Common Land Unit (CLU) is a nation-wide data set of farm field boundaries developed by USDA’s FSA. The agency uses the CLU data as a critical tool for carrying out their mission of resource conservation, disaster recovery and stabilization of farm incomes. The CLU is also used by farmers, ranchers, and sister agencies to help manage operations, develop conservation plans, manage crop insurance, deal with pest infestations, build agriculture census data, and more.
