HEC-FIA 3.4

Issue

DescriptionStatus
Agriculture grid projection issue

When importing an agriculture NASS CDL grid from https://croplandcros.scinet.usda.gov/ the .tif provided by the service has an incorrect projection. 

Solution: This issue does not occur when NASS CDL grids are downloaded from:  https://nassgeodata.gmu.edu/CropScape/

Recommend using Cropscape instead of cropland for NASS CDL Download.
