The NRCS Web Soil Survey service is currently out of service. Animal Agriculture, Agroforestry, and Forestry projects can still be completed. Users of the cropland & grassland module can enter data and run reports for existing projects whose parcels and points have not changed. New cropland & grassland module projects, or projects with modified parcels or points, as well as API model runs will not be able to run reports at the present time.

• Updated the livestock module to allow multi-year livestock modeling and herd/flock-level reporting. Users may now compare an inventory of animal agriculture greenhouse gas emissions in a baseline period vs a future conservation scenario, and account for changes over time in herd/flock size, manure management, and feed rations.
• Updated the database proxy server from nHibernate to Entity Framework, to improve the user experience and increase system performance.
• Added capacity to the cropland & grazing module to conduct model runs in Hawaii, using the IPCC Tier 2 methods described in the USDA Methods Document.
• Added a help desk for the COMET Tools and a new training calendar, while expanding and improving the library of support resources available for users.
• Published the source code for the DayCent model used in COMET-Farm to GitLab, accessible from the help page.
• Added links in the help page for the COMET-Farm API Gitlab Repository.
• Minor defect repairs.
• Feature changes/adjustments to improve the user experience.
