Change in CUGIR data distribution
September 06, 2006 -- In an effort to make it easier for users to obtain the most up-to-date data available, and because some data provider's sites provide functionality that is not available in CUGIR, we are moving to a hybrid model of data distribution. Many datasets will continue to be available for direct download from CUGIR, but for others, only metadata and link to the provider's website will be available. Currently, the only data affected by this change are SSURGO soils data for NYS counties and other survey areas.
