Western Irrigated Agriculture: Tables

All tables summarize data by farm size and State

1. Total irrigation values, all irrigated farms
2. Average irrigation statistics (per farm)
3. Average irrigation statistics by water source (per farm)
4. Irrigation wells and pumping costs by energy source
   

   Tables 4-1a to 4-6c summarize farm numbers, per acre pumping (energy) costs, and the number of irrigation wells and/or pumps by energy source, all by farm size class (and their farm-size percent distributions).  more...
