Description

crop.Compute does not account for the resolution of the crop data raster and therefore treats each cell as having an area of 1 acre. The default CDL files have a 30m resolution and there is a version available with 10m resolution.

Potential solution: Check raster cell size and units and calculate scaling factor to convert losses per acre to losses per cell.
