Our Products

When NC Agriculture is faced with hazardous weather, we create maps that highlight the impact area of and we can add data, such as farm locations, to assist with operational decision making.
We assist other divisions in the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services with map creation, enabling staff to visualize data, site locations, and resources for their projects and goals.
To assist the swine industry, we analyzed farm density to determine potential drop-off locations for diagnostic samples collected from farms.
