US-only data, but quite comprehensive, for a wide variety of crops (apples, cotton, chickpeas, tobacco, rice, etc) and other agricultural info. Some data series go back to the Civil War, and its broken down by county. Very helpful if you want to compare relative yields per acre between 19th and 20th century farming methods, for example. http://www.nass.usda.gov/Data_and_St...s/Quick_Stats/

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
