The ACPF database has expanded to near-national scale, now covering 90% of U.S. row-crop agriculture across ~53,000 HUC-12 watersheds and including over 21 million field boundaries. This enables any watershed planner in the country to generate targeted conservation practice placements using the ACPF Toolbox. The authors invite researchers and practitioners to contribute new tools and analyses for diverse agricultural landscapes.

_{ACPF HUB is supported through Cooperative Agreement # NR213A750008C007 with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Funding for the development of new tools and capabilities for the ACPF is provided, in part, by the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Conservation Effects Assessment Project- Watershed Assessment Studies under the ACPF Enhancement Project, NRCS Interagency Agreement # NRC21IRA0010883 with USDA ARS.}
