Abstract: This research was undertaken to assess the practicalities of improving the accuracy of crop acreages using remote sensing data. In obtaining state estimates, small area estimates are made which are partitioned into county estimates. The accuracy of the small area estimates is significantly improved leading to useful county estimates.
