The United States Department of Agriculture has acquired aerial photography to administer farm programs since 1936. The National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) consolidates FSA's aerial photography, digital imagery, and digital orthoimagery requirements into a national strategy that acquires the best value products for USDA agencies. The resulting product is flexible enough to create win-win partnerships with Federal agencies, State and local governments, and private entities. NAIP is intended to maximize informational value by minimizing the cycle time from acquisition to final delivery.
