[GRASSLIST:1848] STATSGO / SSURGO and GRASS

Has anyone done much with the STATSGO / SSURGO digital soil survey data on
GRASS...

I am interested in doing so, but was curious if anyone has any knowledge of
prior projects.

I can provide more details if this doesn't make much sense.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, I've downloaded and imported STATSGO data in Grass.
It is very easy, because you can download data in GRASS format.

Go to: http://www.ftw.nrcs.usda.gov/stat_data.html, where you find also the user guide.
Than go ftp ftp.ftw.nrcs.usda.gov as anonymous
go to /pub/statsgo/unix/grass you find the data compressed for each state.
