Description
Motivation
From the current version of Satellite Streets base map (v12), the aerial image for rural Mississippi (Starkville, MS for example) has been outdated for 3+ years -- the outlined building in the picture was demolished about 3 years ago and a new shopping mall was built on that site.
We have also received similar feedback from our CRP Menu Tool users that the satellite images for their fields in rural Iowa were also significantly outdated (6+ years).
Implementation
I know that the imagery coverage for urban area is continuously and more frequently updated. Is there any chance that these severely outdated images for rural areas can be prioritized and updated at least once a year?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Satellite Streets v12 imagery concerns described for Starkville, Mississippi, and rural Iowa, along with the linked CRP Menu Tool feedback. Determine whether this repository owns the imagery update workflow; done would mean the outdated rural imagery is refreshed or the request is routed to the responsible imagery team.
