update to latest version of gSSURGO

Hi,

I noticed that the 2016 version of SSURGO is being reported as the data source for soil hydrologic groups. These data are updated continuously and released on an annual refresh cycle. Much has changed since 2016, so it would be a good idea to re-query these data for the latest soil hydrologic group values. I'd be happy to help.

We received an additional request to update gSSURGO today:

"Hi there! First, thank you for the model my watershed tool. I'm a Professor at Paul Smith's College in the Adirondacks of NY and I am using the tool in my Watershed Science class. I do have an update request if possible. It looks like the soils layer is from 2016 and the the newer gSSURGO data fills those holes in NY. Is there any way that could get updated? I'll be using the tool with a class of 80+ in a few weeks and that update would really help. If you ever want to BETA test anything, let me know! Appreciate you all!"
