Foodborne Illness Cost Calculator
The calculator provides information on the assumptions behind foodborne illness cost estimates and gives you a chance to make your own assumptions and calculate your own cost estimates. This interactive web-based tool allows users to estimate the cost of illness due to specific foodborne pathogens. The updated ERS cost estimate for Shiga-toxin producing E. coli O157 (STEC O157) was added to the Calculator in spring, 2008. Calculator users can now review and change the assumptions behind the ERS cost estimates for either STEC O157 or Salmonella. The assumptions that can be modified include the annual number of cases, the distribution of cases by severity, the use or costs of medical care, the amount or value of time lost from work, the costs of premature death, and the disutility costs for nonfatal cases. Users can also update the cost estimate for inflation for any year from 1997 to 2007.

Feed Grains Database
Downloadable database file (CSV) that contains statistics on four feed grains (corn, grain sorghum, barley, and oats), foreign coarse grains (feed grains plus rye, millet, and mixed grains), hay, and related items. This is the data behind a corresponding interactive query and reporting tool. Tables previously published annually in the Feed Yearbook are available and updated continuously as data are added to the database.

Food Environment Atlas
Food environment factors - such as store/restaurant proximity, food prices, food and nutrition assistance programs, and community characteristics - interact to influence food choices and diet quality. The Food Environment Atlas assembles statistics on food environment indicators to stimulate research on the determinants of food choices and diet quality and provides a spatial overview of a community's ability to access healthy food and its success in doing so. The Atlas currently includes 90 indicators of the food environment in three broad categories - food choices, health and well-being, and community characteristics. Data set includes an interactive mapping tool plus bulk data download.

Creative Class County Codes
The creative class thesis - that towns need to attract engineers, architects, artists, and people in other creative occupations to compete in today's economy - may be particularly relevant to rural communities, which tend to lose much of their talent when young adults leave. The USDA Economic Research Service creative class codes indicate a county's share of population employed in occupations that require "thinking creatively". A separate break-out of employment in the arts is also included. Data are provided for all counties in the U.S. for 1990 and 2000.

Agricultural Baseline Database
The agricultural baseline database provides longrun, 10-year projections from USDA's annual long-term projections report. The database covers projections for major field crops (corn, sorghum, barley, oats, wheat, rice, soybeans, and upland cotton), and livestock (beef, pork, poultry and eggs, and dairy).
