SECTION 4
1.

ON-FARM SURFACE WATER USED ON THIS OPERATION IN 2013

Did this operation irrigate with on-farm surface water including recycled water and on-farm reclaimed water in 2013?
Recycled water is the reuse of surface or groundwater that was previously used to irrigate a crop (e.g. water from a tailwater reuse
pit used for irrigation).
On-farm reclaimed water is on-farm livestock wastewater that has been treated for non-potable reuse purposes.
(For the purposes of this irrigation survey, to be considered an irrigation application of reclaimed water, at least 0.5 inches of
reclaimed water must be applied on the area during the growing season.)

SECTION 9

ACRES HARVESTED IN THE OPEN AND CROP YIELDS ON THIS OPERATION IN 2013

For each crop listed, report separately the harvested irrigated land and the harvested non-irrigated land. For selected crops,
report the average yield from irrigated land and non-irrigated land. Report harvested crops as irrigated if any water was
artificially applied either before planting or during the crop’s growing season in 2013. Report the crop as irrigated if water
was applied to supplement rainfall, even if the amount of water applied was not sufficient to obtain maximum yields.
