Western Irrigated Agriculture: Tables

All Tables |  Tables in Groups

All tables summarize data by farm size and State

  1. Total irrigation values, all irrigated farms

    Tables 1-1 to 1-14 summarize total values (for all irrigated farms) by farm size class (and their farm-size percent distributions) for the following irrigation characteristics: number of irrigated farms; value of farm sales; farm acres; harvested cropland acres; pastureland acres; irrigated acres; harvested irrigated cropland acres; total farm water applied; water applied by water source; and acres irrigated by water source.  more...
