We developed annual, 30-m resolution maps of irrigated corn and soybeans for southwestern Michigan from 2001 to 2016 using a machine learning method (random forest). Please see Xu et al. 2019 for full details. The rasters are in UINT 8 format, with 0 indicates rainfed, 1 indicates irrigated, and 3 indicates masked (not row crops according to NLCD before 2007 and not corn or soybeans according to CDL since 2007).
