We’ve added 104 new datasets to our registry! These records are from the Long-Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) network. The LTAR network consists of 18 research sites across the U.S. that have been collecting large quantities of data for an average of 50 years each. See the LTAR program page for more information, and to browse all the new datasets.

We are pleased to announce a new program page for the Veterinary Pest Genomics Center on Ag Data Commons. The Veterinary Pest Genomics Center (VPGC) is an initiative within the US Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (ARS). The vision for this initiative is to leverage big data solutions to evaluate risk from, and develop mitigations for invasive veterinary pests.
Visit the program page for more information on the Center, and to browse all related datasets. Even more resources are coming soon, so stay tuned!
Do you want your research to have a greater impact by making it accessible to more people? Do you want to become a part of the growing open data movement, and support agricultural research around the world?
We are in the process of setting up a remote login system so that researchers like you can submit data to our repository. The process will be simple: login, fill out the data submission form, upload or link to your data, and submit. Our curators will then review your data submission and be in touch with you regarding publication on Ag Data Commons. We appreciate your interest in our repository, and will update this news feed when our data submission system goes live. Stay tuned!
