Agricultural Land Classification Survey: Skegness Drummond Road

Scanned paper maps and survey reports detail the Agricultural Land Classification for the Skegness Drummond Road site. The data was collected by the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food between 1989 and 1999, using a methodology that subdivides Grade 3 land into subgrades 3a and 3b. Unedited sample point soils data and soil pit descriptions are also available for some surveys.
