Find out how to submit corrections to USDA data #45

Caveat: I'm not certain that there are actually errors in the USDA data, which this currently uses. But some ebtnearme.org users have asked how to submit corrections. If USDA has an avenue for feedback from users, it'd be good to be able to communicate it.

This doesn't cover all of their data IDT, but a quick search came up with http://www.usda.gov/oce/about_oce/data.htm

You should email the USDA open data points of contact: https://project-open-data.cio.gov/points-of-contact/

And/or the data maintainer, listed here: https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/snap-retail-locator

Quickly noting next steps: incorporate that answer into the README and into a user-facing element.
