Crop Statistics Pixel counting is usually downward biased when compared to official estimates. Counting pixels and multiplying by the area of each pixel will result in biased area estimates and should be considered raw numbers needing bias correction. Official crop acreage estimates are available at http://www.nass.usda.gov/.
