Is it possible to write a script that will automatically download data from this web site: https://indianocean.sc.egov.usda.gov/ACR/ by cycling through every state, county, commodity and year listed in the respective fields? In other words, the web site will only allow me to download data for one county-commodity-cropyear, but I would like to have the entire dataset for all counties and commodities and years. If possible, how much would it cost to pay a programmer to do this for me? |

Its definitely possible, languages you would want to look at doing this in are: perl, applescript, ruby, or javascript. I imagine it would cost you around 20-50 US dollars to do something like this. The best place to find someone would be either school campus (might even get a comp-sci person to do it for free), Craigs List (craigslist.com), Google Base (base.google.com), or Rent-A-Coder (rentacoder.com). If you have any more questions or comments, freel free to let me know :). |

How would you like to store the data, such as a database, flat files, website? |

Storing the data in flat delimited text files is fine. |
