I'd like to import this data into a Postgres database:
http://www.ars.usda.gov/SP2UserFiles/Place/12354500/Data/SR24/dnload/sr24.zip
However, I'm not quite sure what format this is. It's definitely not
CSV. Here's an example of a few rows:
~01001~^~0100~^~Butter, salted~^~BUTTER,WITH
SALT~^~~^~~^~Y~^~~^0^~~^6.38^4.27^8.79^3.87
~01002~^~0100~^~Butter, whipped, with salt~^~BUTTER,WHIPPED,WITH

~01003~^~0100~^~Butter oil, anhydrous~^~BUTTER

Is there an easy way to get this into PG, or a tool I can download for
this, or do I need to parse it myself with a script or something?
Thanks!
