Travis-CI Build Status

An alternative for downloading various USDA data from https://quickstats.nass.usda.gov/ through R. You must sign up for an API key from the mentioned website in order for this package to work. Disclaimer:

This product uses the NASS API but is not endorsed or certified by NASS.

Install

Eventually, this package will be uploaded to CRAN at which point you should be able to install the package through the typical method:

install.packages("usdarnass")

However, until the package has been submitted to CRAN the only way to use the package is through the development version (needs devtools installed):

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("rdinter/usdarnass")

Once installed through either method, you can load package the conventional way:

library("usdarnass")
