USDA Farmed Wetland (Swampbuster) Maps from 1988
Before you request USDA Farmed Wetland (Swampbuster) Maps from 1988, you must comply with the following:

Section 1619 of the 2008 Farm Bill prohibits the release of information that falls into certain categories. Information that has been provided to USDA by an agricultural producer or owner of agricultural land concerning the operation, practices, or the land itself in order to participate in USDA programs is not to be disclosed by any USDA employee.

If you wish to receive a copy of a 1988 “swampbuster map” you will need to fill out a compliance form with signed authorization from the landowner.
There is no fee, but the form is required.
