2012 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Introduction
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Selected irrigation data for on-farm irrigation
operations have been collected in the census of
agriculture since 1890. Surveys of irrigation in
humid areas were taken in connection with the 1954
and 1959 censuses.
The 2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey (FRIS)
is the eighth survey devoted entirely to collecting onfarm irrigation data for the U.S. The 1979, 1984,
1988, and 1994 surveys were conducted by the U.S.
Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census.
Responsibility for the survey was transferred from
the Bureau of the Census to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS) in 1997. The 1998 survey utilized
the resources of the 45 NASS field offices which
expanded opportunities for telephone follow-up or
personal enumeration of nonresponse cases. The
1998 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey was the first
survey to collect and publish data for each of the 50
States. Previous farm and ranch irrigation surveys
published data only for leading irrigation States, with
a U.S. total, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. In 2008,
horticultural specialty operations with sales of
$10,000 or greater were included in the survey for
the first time.
USES OF SURVEY DATA
The 2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey
provides data that supplement the basic irrigation
data collected from all farm and ranch operators in
the 2012 Census of Agriculture. Irrigation data from
this survey combined with 2012 census data provide
one of the most complete and detailed profiles of
irrigation in the U.S.
Survey data are used by producers, farm
organizations, businesses, State departments of
agriculture, elected representatives and legislative
2012 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

bodies at all levels of government, public and private
sector analysts, the news media, and colleges and
universities. The data are used to:







Compare water use by application method;
Develop improved technologies;
Develop Federal programs;
Appraise water use trends;
Assess impact of congressional legislation; and
Evaluate the impact of irrigated crops by State.

AUTHORITY
The census of agriculture is required by law under
the “Census of Agriculture Act of 1997," Public Law
105-113 (Title 7, United States Code, Section
2204g). The law authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to conduct surveys deemed necessary to
furnish annual or other data on the subjects covered
by the census. The 2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation
Survey was conducted under the provisions of this
section.
FARM DEFINITION
A farm is any place from which $1,000 or more of
agricultural products were produced and sold, or
normally would have been sold, during the census or
survey year.
DATA COMPARABILITY
In Tables 2 through 39, the State level FRIS data are
not comparable between 2013 and 2008. In the 2008
survey, operations that reported any horticultural
sales in the 2007 Census of Agriculture were not
included in the General FRIS data tables. In the 2013
survey, operations with horticultural sales in the
2012 Census of Agriculture were included in all
FRIS tables.

Introduction V

To provide a measure of comparability, the
published 2008 U.S. level data were adjusted to
include the horticulture operations’ data. See
Appendix A, Statistical Methodology for a detailed
discussion of data comparability.

WATER RESOURCES REGIONS MAP
The map on page 1 shows Water Resources Regions
delineated to approximate actual basin boundaries
based on topographic drainage characteristics. Data
are tabulated separately for each of the 20 Water
Resources Regions shown on the map.

PERCENT OF NORMAL PRECIPITATION
MAPS
The maps on pages 2 through 5 show the areas of the
U.S. with deviations from normal precipitation
during 2013. The maps are included for reference
purposes only.
TABLES AND APPENDICES
The FRIS tables are divided into three sections:
Entire Farm, Crops Grown in the Open and Pasture,
and Horticultural Operations.
Entire Farm Data Tables. Table 1 shows farms
and acres irrigated for the 1997 through 2012
Censuses of Agriculture for each State. Tables 2
through 27 present detailed irrigation data collected
in the farm and ranch irrigation survey from
operations that reported irrigated land in the 2012
census and also in the 2013 survey. Excluded from
these data are institutional, research, and
experimental operations. Table 27 presents data for
farm operations that irrigated in 2012 but
discontinued irrigation either temporarily or
permanently in 2013 while continuing to operate a
farm or ranch. Comparable adjusted 2008 U.S. level
survey data are also presented in some tables. Data
are reported at the national level, for each State, and
for the 20 Water Resources Regions.
Crops Grown in the Open and Pasture Data
Tables. Tables 28 through 39 present detailed 2013
irrigation data collected on crops grown in the open
and pasture. Excluded from these data are
VI Introduction

institutional, research, and experimental operations,
and water use and area of crops grown under
protection. Data are reported at the national level and
for each State.
Horticultural Operations Data Tables. Tables 40
through 45 present detailed 2013 irrigation data
collected on horticultural crops grown under
protection. Data are from horticultural operations
that reported irrigating in the 2012 census and also in
the 2013 survey. Data are reported at the national
level and for each State.
Appendix A. Provides information about data
collection and data processing activities and
discusses the statistical methodology used in
conducting and evaluating the survey. Table A
provides the general 2013 FRIS sample counts and
the sample’s corresponding 2012 census irrigated
acreage. It also provides the general 2013 FRIS
unexpanded and expanded acres irrigated and 2012
census acres irrigated. Table B provides a
comparison of the irrigated acres published in the
2012 Census of Agriculture and expanded 2013
FRIS acres irrigated by size group. Table C provides
the standard error for selected data for irrigated crops
grown in the open in 2013. Table D provides the
standard error for selected horticultural data in 2013.
Appendix B.
Provides information about the
development of the report form. It also contains the
definitions of specific terms and phrases used in this
publication, including items in the publication tables
that carry the note “see text.” The facsimiles of the
report form and the instruction sheet used to collect
the FRIS data are included. Table A provides
irrigated acreage and rank for the previous three
censuses.
RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY
In keeping with the provisions of Title 7 of the
United States Code, no data are published that would
disclose information about the operations of an
individual farm or ranch. All tabulated data are
subjected to an extensive disclosure review prior to
publication. Any tabulated item that identifies data
reported by a respondent or allows a respondent’s
data to be accurately estimated or derived, was
suppressed and coded with a ‘D’. However, the
number of farms reporting an item is not considered
2012 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

confidential information and is provided even though
other information is withheld.

2008 data do not include non-horticultural field crops and pasture acreage on horticulture operations.
Subirrigation data were collected as a separate item in 2008 but were collected under “Other gravity systems” for 2013. For the 2008 data, subirrigation data were added to "other gravity systems" for
comparability.

The subirrigation category was dropped as a separate category in 2013 and is now reported as Other Gravity Systems.
More than one technique may have been used on an irrigated acre during the survey year.
The 2008 data equal the sum of irrigation water captured (tailwater pits), water restricted from running off the field, limited irrigation set times or number of irrigations, and alternative row irrigation.
2008 data do not include non-horticultural field crops and pasture acreage on horticulture operations.
The 2008 data equal the sum of surge-flow or cablegation and applying mulch or other row covers.
The 2008 data equal gravity systems with laser leveling.
The 2008 data equal the sum of the use of polyacrylamide (PAM), shortening of furrow lengths, and special furrowing techniques.

Statistical Methodology

THE SURVEY POPULATION

DATA COLLECTION

Sample Design

Method of Enumeration

The target population for the 2013 Farm and Ranch
Irrigation Survey (FRIS) was composed of all farms
irrigating in the reference year 2013. From the 2012
Census of Agriculture, 197,456 records were
identified for the U.S. level FRIS population on the
basis of having irrigation activity on their farm or
ranch. This excluded 1,283 institutional, research, or
experimental farms from the total number of
irrigators that reported in the 2012 census.

The 2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey was
conducted primarily by mail. Data were also
collected by Electronic Data Reporting (EDR) via
the Internet, telephone enumeration, and personal
enumeration. Enumeration methods used in the 2013
survey were similar to those used in the 2008 survey.

The FRIS sample was a State level sample and
drawn for all 50 States. This sample design targeted
a U.S. level sample size of 35,000. A certainty
stratum, with farms selected with probability one,
was included in each State to ensure that the major
irrigators in each State were sampled. The remaining
strata were sampled systematically by acreage. The
stratification boundaries varied among the States and
were dependent on the distribution of total acres
irrigated within the State. The stratified design
ensured that the sample was reflective of the FRIS
population and achieved the appropriate coefficients
of variation (CV) levels at both the U.S. and State
levels.
The final national sample size was 34,966 farms;
2,095 of these farms were selected from the certainty
strata and the remaining 32,871 farms were
systematically selected from the noncertainty strata.
Table A provides the State sample counts for FRIS,
including acres associated with those counts, final
reports processed and tabulated both unexpanded
and expanded, and 2012 census counts.

Report Form
A single 20-page report form was created to
consolidate what was collected on two report forms
in the 2008 FRIS (the 2008 FRIS and the 2008
Horticultural Irrigation Survey). This combined
report form was used to collect irrigation data from
farm and ranch operators and horticultural producers.
The report form was mailed to all the producers in
the FRIS sample that reported irrigation in the 2012
Census of Agriculture. See Appendix B for a copy of
the report and instruction booklet and also for
information regarding changes between the 2008 and
2013 forms.
Report Form
Follow-up

Mailings

and

Respondent

The initial mailout took place in January 2014. Mail
packets were mailed to approximately 31,300 farm
and ranch operations, including horticultural
operations. The initial mail packets included a
labeled report form, an instruction booklet, a letter
requesting a prompt response, and a return envelope.
Mailout packet preparation, initial mailout, and one
follow-up mailing to nonrespondents were handled
by the U.S. Census Bureau’s National Processing

Appendix A A - 1

Center (NPC) in Jeffersonville, IN. Telephone
follow-up from a NASS Data Collection Center
began April 2014 to nonrespondents who were
mailed a report form from NPC.
Data were collected for a select group of operations
by the NASS field offices. To minimize the number
of agency contacts, operations were included in this
group if they were scheduled for contact by NASS
for other agricultural surveys. Report forms were
labeled at NPC and sent to the field offices in
December 2013. Field office staff collected data by
personal enumeration or by phone from January
2014 through May 2014. For a description of the
adjustment for nonresponse, see Estimation.
REPORT FORM PROCESSING

Prior to publication, tabulated totals were reviewed
to identify and resolve remaining inconsistencies and
potential coverage problems. Comparisons were
made with 2012 census data, 2008 Farm and Ranch
Irrigation Survey data, and other available check
data. The data were processed through a disclosure
program to prevent data from being published that
could be sourced back to an individual operation.
Imputation
After the initial edit, imputations were made for
missing data on quantity of water applied, well and
pump characteristics, energy cost of well pumps,
individual crop yields and quantity of water used,
horticulture water sources, maintenance and repair
costs, and expenditures listed in report form section
15.

Data Capture
ESTIMATION
All report forms returned to NPC were immediately
checked in, using bar codes printed on the mailing
label, and this check-in process removed them from
follow-up mailings. All forms were reviewed prior to
data keying to identify inconsistencies and ensure
that the data could be keyed. Major inconsistencies,
respondent remarks, blank report forms, and large
irrigation cases were reviewed by analysts and
adjusted prior to data keying as needed. All forms
with any data were scanned and an image was
created for each page of a report form.
Data Editing and Analysis
Data from each report form were processed through
a computer edit which flagged inconsistent entries.
Each flagged entry was reviewed by staff. In some
cases, respondents may have failed to provide all of
the information requested, only indicating the
presence of an item but not the amount. For those
data that would not be machine imputed they were
estimated by the analyst based on other responses in
the geographic area and by similarly sized farms.
After the initial edit, an imputation program supplied
missing data and made adjustments based on
responses of similarly sized farms within the same
geographic area. Data entries of large magnitude and
data items that were changed significantly in the
computer edit process were reviewed and verified by
analysts.

A - 2 Appendix A

Data were summarized for the Nation as a whole, for
each of the 50 States, and for the geographic
domains known as Water Resources Regions (WRR)
(see Appendix B for detailed description). The
estimation methodology consisted of two weighting
components that made up the total FRIS weight. The
first component was the fully adjusted weight pulled
in from the 2012 Census of Agriculture. This weight
accounted for any list incompleteness and
undercoverage from the 2012 census. The second
component was the sampling rate used for the FRIS.
This expansion factor was the inverse of the
selection probability for the sample farms in a
stratum. This expansion factor was reweighted at the
stratum level to account for whole-farm
nonresponse. The nonresponse adjustment factor
used to reweight the expansion factor was the ratio
of the number of sample farms in a stratum to the
number of sample farms that responded to the survey
in that stratum. The assumption underlying this
weighting approach to survey nonresponse was that
survey respondents and nonrespondents within a
stratum constitute a homogeneous population, thus
allowing respondents to represent nonrespondents.
An expanded data value for a sample record was
obtained by multiplying the data value by the total
FRIS weight. State totals for a characteristic were
estimated by summing the expanded data values
from all responding sample records across all strata
within the State. National estimates were obtained by
2012 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

summing across all States. The WRR estimates were
obtained by summing the expanded data values for
the portion of the sample falling into the WRR.

2.

Some operators reported that they had been
misclassified as irrigators and did not irrigate
in either 2012 or 2013. An estimated 9,522
operations with 743,333 acres irrigated were
misclassified as irrigated in the 2012 Census of
Agriculture. In addition to errors in processing
census data, some operators misreported or
misinterpreted the questions. Most of the
operators misreporting irrigation in the 2012
census reported irrigation of small acreages of
vegetables, fruits and nuts, tobacco, field crops,
or berries.

3.

Some respondents indicated they had retired,
moved, sold or rented the land, etc., since
2012. After analytical review of the 2013
receipts, an estimated 17,022 operations
accounting for 2,107,745 acres irrigated in
2012, after expansion, were dropped from
processing because they were no longer
farming. Special care was taken with large
operations to ensure that they were not
erroneously dropped due to reorganization or
name change rather than discontinuing
agricultural operations.

4.

New irrigators in 2013 (not included in the
2012 census) did not have a chance of being
selected in the sample and, therefore, were
excluded from the survey. It is believed that the
impact of new irrigators is probably minimal.
This conclusion is supported by comparisons
between the 2007 and 2012 Census of
Agriculture irrigation data which show little
change in irrigated acres.

RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY
In keeping with the provisions of Title 7 of the
United States Code, no data are published that would
disclose information about the operations of an
individual farm or ranch. All tabulated data are
subjected to an extensive disclosure review prior to
publication. Any tabulated item that identifies data
reported by a respondent or allows a respondent’s
data to be accurately estimated or derived, was
suppressed and coded with a ‘D’. However, the
number of farms reporting an item is not considered
confidential information and is provided even though
other information is withheld.
DATA COMPARABILITY
The 2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey data
were weighted for incompleteness of the mail list.
For Tables 7 through 18, 22, and 24 through 26, the
State level FRIS data are not comparable between
the 2013 and 2008 surveys. In the 2013 survey, the
data included operations that reported horticultural
sales during the previous census year. In 2008, data
for operations with horticultural sales were included
in Chapter 2, Horticultural Operations Data tables.
To provide a measure of comparability, where
possible, the published 2008 U.S. level data were
adjusted to include the horticulture operations’ data.
Differences exist between the expanded results of the
2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey and
published data from the 2012 Census of Agriculture.
Some of these are as follows:
1.

The survey includes data only for operations
that irrigated in both 2012 and 2013.
Operations in some areas, especially the
eastern States, irrigate intermittently according
to moisture needs. Operations with irrigation
capabilities may not irrigate depending on the
amount of rainfall for a particular year or
geographic area. The number of operations that
irrigated in 2012 but discontinued irrigation in
2013 is tabulated in Table 27 for all farms and
in Table 44 for horticultural operations by
reason of discontinuance.

2012 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Table B shows acres irrigated in the 2013 FRIS
(expanded) compared with U.S. totals from the 2012
Census of Agriculture. The expanded survey
accounts for 99.1 percent of all land reported as
irrigated in the 2012 census and all irrigation
characteristics associated with that land.
MEASURES OF SURVEY QUALITY
The statistics in this report are estimates derived
from a sample survey. There are two types of errors
possible in an estimate-based sample survey:
sampling and nonsampling. Sampling error is the
error caused by observing only a sample instead of
the entire population. The sampling error is subject
Appendix A A - 3

to sample-to-sample variation. Nonsampling errors
include all other errors and can arise from many
different sources. These sources may include
respondent or enumerator error or incorrect data
keying, editing, or imputing for missing data.
Nonsampling error due to mail list incompleteness
and duplication, as well as misclassification of
records on the mail list, is referred to as coverage
error.

the precision in the survey estimates and is reported
for major survey items in Table C and Table D. The
relative standard error expresses the standard error of
an estimate as a percent of the estimated value. The
standard error of a survey estimate is a measure of
the variation among the estimates from all possible
samples. It is a measure of the precision with which
an estimate from a particular sample approximates
the average result of all possible samples.

Undercoverage existed in the frame population to the
extent that there were farms that either erroneously
reported not irrigating in the 2012 census, started
irrigating in 2013, or had succeeding irrigators in
2013 (i.e., an operator who, since 2012, took over
control of an irrigating farm through sales, rental, or
other arrangements). Overcoverage existed in the
frame because some operations were misclassified as
irrigated and did not irrigate in 2012 or had either
stopped farming or irrigating in 2013. Farms in these
groups that were selected into the sample were
identified during the survey and estimates of their
number and acres irrigated are provided above under
Data Comparability, items 2 and 3.

The relative standard errors given in Table C and
Table D can be used to construct confidence
intervals for the major survey items. Confidence
intervals are another way to express the precision of
an estimate by calculating the upper and lower
bounds for a level of confidence. This confidence
interval is designed to contain the true value being
estimated. If all possible samples were selected, each
of the samples were surveyed under essentially the
same conditions, and an estimate and its standard
error were calculated from each sample, then:
1.

Approximately 67 percent of the intervals from
one standard error below the estimate to one
standard error above the estimate would
include the average value of all possible
samples.

2.

Approximately 90 percent of the intervals from
1.65 standard errors below the estimate to 1.65
standard errors above the estimate would
include the average value of all possible
samples.

Survey Response Rate
The reponse rate is one indicator of the quality of a
data collection. It is generally assumed that if a
response rate is close to a full participation level of
100 percent, the potential for nonresponse bias is
small, although this has been questioned recently in
the literature. Because the FRIS contains both farm
and nonfarm records, the response rate is an
indicator of replying to the FRIS data collection
effort, but does not reflect whether those responding
met the farm definition or had the items of interest
for the survey. The response rate for the 2013 Farm
and Ranch Irrigation Survey is 77.8 percent. This
compares to 79.4 percent for the 2008 Farm and
Ranch Irrigation Survey.
MEASURES OF PRECISION
The survey sample was one of a large number of
possible samples of the same size that could have
been selected using the same sample design. Survey
estimates derived from the different samples will
differ from each other.

The computations necessary to construct the
confidence intervals associated with these statements
are illustrated in the following example: Assume that
the estimated number of irrigated acres of a certain
item is 669,813 and the relative standard error of the
estimate is 1.6 percent (0.016). Multiplying 669,813
by 0.016 yields 10,717, the standard error.
Therefore, a 67-percent confidence interval is
659,096 to 680,530 (i.e., 669,813 + 10,717). If
corresponding confidence intervals were constructed
for all possible samples of the same size and design,
approximately 2 out of 3 (67 percent) of these
intervals would contain the figure obtained from a
complete enumeration. Similarly, a 90-percent
confidence interval is 652,130 to 687,496 (i.e.,
669,813 + 1.65 x 10,717).

The relative standard error is used as an indicator of

Appendix B.
General Explanation and Report Form
DEVELOPMENT OF THE REPORT FORM

Publication Changes

Planning for the 2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation
Survey (FRIS) started in 2009 with the closeout of
the 2008 FRIS. Extensive correspondence,
discussions, and meetings took place with
representatives of the Economic Research Service
(ERS) regarding 2013 FRIS content. Evaluations
from NASS staff of the 2008 FRIS were reviewed.
The decision was made to design a single report
form version to collect the irrigation data from farm
and ranch operators and horticultural producers; a
change from the two separate report forms used in
the 2008 FRIS. Having one form allowed the same
questions to be asked of every producer.

2003: Data were published for irrigating farms and
ranches and included data for horticultural
operations that reported less than $10,000 in sales in
the 2002 Census of Agriculture. The 2003 FRIS
table structure is similar to 2008 FRIS Chapter 1
tables.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Water
Initiative Team, along with individuals from
government organizations and universities with
expertise in agricultural irrigation and the irrigation
industry, were solicited for input on the new report
form content and design. A draft of the report form
was developed in headquarters for pretesting. FRIS
team members administered the pretest to local
operations. The pretest had several objectives. The
first objective was to find out whether respondents
were able to correctly interpret the questions and
whether or not they were able to answer them. Since
the FRIS report form was intended to be selfadministered, another objective was to determine
whether respondents could easily navigate through
the report form. This was a critical component to the
pretest, since horticultural producers would not have
a tailored version like the one they received in the
2008 FRIS. Results of the pretest lead to a redesign
of the report form.
DATA CHANGES
Information concerning the data changes from 2003,
2008, and 2013 are described here.
2012 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

2008: Two report forms were used – one for farm
and ranch operations and another for horticultural
operations with any sales in 2008. Data for farm and
ranch operations were published in Chapter 1, Tables
1 through 43 (General Data). Horticultural
operations data were published in Chapter 2, Tables
1 through 9 (Horticultural Operations Data). To
bridge the 2003 tables with the 2008 Chapter 1
tables, the 2003 U.S. data were adjusted in the 2008
publication by removing data for horticultural
operations with less than $10,000 in sales.
2013: A single report form was used to collect data
from irrigating farm and ranch operations and from
horticultural operations with any level of sales. Data
published in Tables 2 through 39 (Entire Farm Data)
are for all irrigating operations – farms and ranches
and horticultural operations combined. Data are not
comparable between the 2013 and 2008 surveys
because horticultural operations’ data were reported
separately in 2008 (Chapter 2). The 2013
horticultural operations data in Tables 40 through 45
are comparable with their corresponding 2008
Chapter 2 tables. To provide a measure of
comparability in the 2013 tables, the 2008 U.S. data
were adjusted, where possible, to include the 2008
horticultural operations data. In many of the first 27
tables, 2008 U.S. data were omitted.
Table Assignment Changes Between 2008 and
2013 - The table order has changed from 2008 to
2013. The table below provides a general guide as to

Several tables were affected by changes to the report
form sections. Some tables that appeared in the 2008
B - 2 Appendix B

FRIS are not published in the 2013 FRIS, including
Chapter 1 tables 13, 24, 31, and 40 and Chapter 2
tables 5, 6, and 7. Table 3 was updated to reflect
changes that were made to the land use categories in
Section 2 of the FRIS report form; specifically the
types of pasture – permanent, woodland pastured,
and other pasture. The change was made to align
FRIS with the 2012 census.
The subirrigation method of water distribution for
acres in the open was not included on the 2013 FRIS
report form. This change affected Tables 28, 31, 32,
and 39. The data for this method are now reported in
the Other gravity item. In 2008 data were collected
for five categories of Uncontrolled flooding and
Other gravity methods and were published in Table
7. Only data for the total acres of each of these
conveyance systems were collected and published in
2013.
Wells capable of being used, irrigation water
transfers, and other uses of irrigation water are no
longer published. Crops with small acreages have
high variability because of the sample size.
Sugarbeets, barley, and tobacco were removed as
individual items in the field crops sections.
Respondents reported these in the Other small grains
or Other crops categories on the report form.
Water management practices for gravity irrigation
were combined into four categories in Table 39.
DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS
This section provides definitions and explanations of
specific terms and phrases used on the reports forms
or in the tables. Items in the publication tables that
carry the note “see text” also are explained.
Acre-feet of water. An acre-foot of water is the
quantity of water required to cover one acre to a
depth of one foot. This is equivalent to 43,560 cubic
feet or 325,851 gallons.
Acres and quantity harvested. If two or more
crops were harvested from the same land during the
year (double cropping), the acres were counted for
each crop. Therefore, the total acres of all crops
harvested generally exceeded the acres of cropland
harvested. An exception to this procedure was hay
crops.
2012 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

When more than one cutting of hay was taken from
the same acres, the acres were counted only once,
but the quantity harvested includes all cuttings. For
interplanted crops or ‘‘skip-row’’ crops, acres were
reported according to the portion of the field
occupied, whether by a crop or whether it was idle
land.
If a crop was interplanted in an orchard or vineyard
and harvested, then the entire orchard or vineyard
acreage was reported under land in bearing and nonbearing fruit orchards, citrus or other groves,
vineyards, and nut trees and the interplanted
estimated crop acreage was reported under the
appropriate crop.
Acres of land in bearing and non-bearing fruit
orchards, citrus or other groves, vineyards, and nut
trees were included in cropland harvested whether
the crop was harvested or not.
Acres irrigated. Acres or area irrigated are the
acres of agricultural land to which water was applied
by any artificial or controlled means such as
sprinklers, flooding, furrows, ditches, gated pipe,
hand watered, capillary mats, trough irrigation, ebband-flood irrigation, subirrigation, and spreader
dikes including preplanted, partial, and supplemental
irrigation. Land flooded was to be included as
irrigated only if the water was diverted to
agricultural land by dams, canals, or other works.
Table 1 provides a comparison with the 2013 FRIS
data and the 2012 Census of Agriculture data. Table
A in this appendix also provides census data for the
leading irrigation States for 2002, 2007, and 2012.
Acres irrigated affected by expenditure. This is a
new item in 2013. It is the number of acres which
were affected by the reported cost of the
expenditures. It is not comparable with Acres
irrigated in the expenditure tables in the 2008 and
earlier FRIS publications.
Acres irrigated on farms with any hired or
contract labor. This is a new item for 2013. This
is the total acres irrigated on the operation. On some
operations hired labor or contract labor were paid for
work on all the acres in the operation. On other
operations hired labor or contract labor were paid for
work on only part of the total acres irrigated in the
operation.
2012 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

All other crops. Data relate to any non-vegetable
crops not having a specified code on the 2013 Farm
and Ranch Irrigation report form. Crops such as
grass seed, sunflower seed, sugarcane, etc. were
included in other field crops. Data are comparable.
All other land. This category includes farmsteads,
buildings, livestock facilities, ponds, roads, ditches,
wasteland, etc. It includes those acres in the farm
operation not classified as cropland, woodland,
pastureland, or rangeland.
Application of commercial fertilizers or pesticides
in irrigation water. This inquiry was intended to
measure the number of farms and acres on which
fertilizer and pesticides were distributed through
irrigation systems.
Area in the open - acres irrigated. Acres in the
open irrigated is the total area irrigated for
horticultural crops grown in the open, whether
harvested or not.
Area under protection - square feet irrigated.
The total area used to grow horticultural crops under
protection, whether harvested or not.
Artesian wells. Artesian or flowing wells are wells
which flow freely and provide water used for
irrigation without pumping during the irrigation
season. All flowing or artesian wells were excluded
from data for pumped wells.
Average hours of operation. The average hours of
operation for pumped wells was calculated from the
reported hours operated for up to three individual
wells and the average hours for the remaining wells,
if any. Artesian wells were not included in the
average hours calculation.
Average operating pressure.
The average
operating pressure for pumped wells was reported
for up to three individual wells and as the average
operating pressure for the remaining wells, if any.
Artesian wells are not included as wells pumped.
The average operating pressure was calculated using
these reported data.
Average pumping capacity. The average pumping
capacity for pumped wells was reported for up to
three individual wells and as the average pumping
Appendix B B - 3

capacity for the remaining wells, if any. Artesian
wells are not included as wells pumped. The average
pumping capacity was calculated using these
reported data.
Barriers to making improvements to reduce
energy use or conserve water. This item shows the
barriers to implementing improvements that might
reduce energy and/or conserve water. Respondents
were asked to report for the period covering 2009 to
2013. The information was tabulated as reported. No
imputation was made for a blank response.
Cropland harvested. This category includes land
from which crops were harvested and hay was cut,
land used to grow short-rotation woody crops, and
land in orchards, citrus groves, Christmas trees,
vineyards, nurseries, and greenhouses. Land from
which two or more crops were harvested was
counted only once. Land in tapped maple trees was
included in woodland.
Cropland not harvested or grazed. This category
includes acreage which could have been used for
crops without any additional improvement and
which was not reported as cropland harvested or
other pasture or grazing land that could have been
used for crops without additional improvements.
This category includes:
1. Land used for cover crops or soil improvement
but not harvested or grazed.
2. Land in Federal or State conservation programs
that was not hayed or grazed in 2013.
3. Land occupied with growing crops for harvest in
2014 or later years (except fruit or nuts in an
orchard, grove, or vineyard or berries being
maintained for production). Example is acreage
planted in winter wheat for harvest in 2014 and
no crop was harvested from these acres in 2013.

Estimated quantity of water applied. Most water
used for irrigation is not metered or measured
accurately. The quantity of water data are based on
the best estimates provided by irrigators. Generally,
in areas with water shortages, such as southern
California and Arizona, irrigators are more likely to
provide actual quantities of water used than in
Mountain States where water shortages may be less
of a problem or precise measuring methods are not
readily available. In the Mountain States where
water from snow-melt is diverted for use in season,
the amount of water used may be a rough estimate,
seldom a measured figure.
Expenditures for irrigation facilities and
equipment.
There are six categories of
expenditures. The expenditures purposes include;
new expansion, water conservation, energy
conservation, and scheduled replacement or
maintenance. The expenditures are also grouped by
primary source of funding.
Farms using off-farm water. Respondents were
asked to report the amount (none, some, or all) of
off-farm water supplied by the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation, other federal agencies, and all other
suppliers. However, many respondents did not
answer this question. Instead, the computer edit set
the entry to unknown. The number of farms using
water from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, other
federal agencies, and all other suppliers may be
understated.
Flowing wells. See Artesian wells.
Gross value of agricultural products sold. See
Market value of agricultural products sold.

4. Land in summer fallow in 2013.
5. Land with crops that failed and no crop was
harvested on the acreage in 2013.
Crops unit of measurement. Crop units were
preprinted on the report forms and respondents were
instructed to report crops in these units.
B - 4 Appendix B

Horticultural crops. The horticultural data are
published in the following categories:
Christmas trees and short rotation woody crops.
Includes all trees to be cut in 2013 or later years.
Irrigated live Christmas trees were reported in
nursery crops.
2012 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Floriculture and bedding crops. Includes annual
bedding/garden plants, herbaceous perennials, cut
flowers and cut cultivated greens, foliage plants for
indoor or patio use, potted flowering plants, and
other floriculture type crops.
Food crops grown under protection. Includes all
food crops that were grown in a greenhouse or under
some sort of structure that regulated light, shade,
temperature, etc. No food crops grown in open fields
were reported for this crop type.
Mushroom crops. Includes all mushroom species
that were irrigated in 2008. Logs were converted to
and reported in square feet.
Nursery crops.
Includes deciduous shade and
flowering trees, broadleaf and coniferous evergreens,
live Christmas trees for sale as potted trees or balled
and burlapped, fruit and nut plants, ornamental
grasses, palms for landscaping, shrubs, vines, aquatic
plants, and other woody ornamentals.
Propagative materials. Includes dry bulbs, corms,
tubers, and rhizomes; cuttings, seedlings, liners, and
plugs; flower seeds; vegetable seeds; vegetable
transplants; and tobacco transplants.
Sod. Includes all irrigated sod, sprigs, or plugs.
Other horticultural crops. This category includes all
crops that are primarily considered ornamental or
horticultural and are not listed. Fruit, nut, and
vegetable crops grown in the open are not considered
horticultural crops.

ranch to irrigation of all agricultural land in the farm
or ranch. This includes reclaimed water and
livestock lagoon wastewater distributed by sprinkler
or flood systems.
Irrigated land. Irrigated land is defined as “all land
watered by artificial or controlled means.” No
attempt was made to define the degree or intensity of
irrigation. Therefore, the data for irrigated land
include land with as little as one-half inch of water
applied as well as land with several acre-feet of
water applied.
Irrigation pumps. The inventory data for number
of irrigation pumps include well pumps and pumps
other than well pumps used for irrigation on the
operation.
Land in farms. The acreage designated as ‘‘land in
farms’’ consists primarily of agricultural land used
for crops, pasture, or grazing. It also includes
woodland and wasteland not actually under
cultivation or used for pasture or grazing, provided it
was part of the farm operator’s total operation. Large
acreages of woodland or wasteland held for
nonagricultural purposes were removed from
individual reports during the data review process.
Land in farms includes idle cropland, cropland not
harvested, and land in government conservation
programs.

Institutional, research, and experimental farms.
In the 2012 and 2007 Censuses of Agriculture, data
for these farms were combined with American
Indian reservation farms into one category.
However, in the 2013 and 2008 Farm and Ranch
Irrigation Surveys, only American Indian reservation
farms were included in the sample while
institutional, research, and experimental farms were
excluded.

Land in farms is an operating unit concept and
includes land owned and operated as well as land
rented from others. Land used rent free was reported
as land rented from others. All grazing land, except
land used under government permits on a per-head
basis (AUM), was included as land in farms
provided it was part of a farm or ranch. All land in
American Indian reservations used for growing crops
or grazing livestock was included as land in farms.
Land in reservations not reported by individual
American Indians or non-Native Americans was
reported in the name of the cooperative group that
used the land. In some instances, an entire American
Indian reservation was reported as one farm.

Irrigated farms. Irrigated farms or ranches are
those with any agricultural land irrigated by any
artificial or controlled means in the specific calendar
year. The acreage irrigated may vary from a very
small portion of the total acreage in the farm or

Market value of agricultural products sold. This
category represents the gross market value before
taxes and production expenses of all agricultural
products sold or removed from the place during the
survey year, regardless of who received the payment.

Appendix B B - 5

It includes sales by the operators as well as the value
of any shares received by partners, landlords,
contractors, or others associated with the operation.
It represents the sum of all crops, including nursery
products, and livestock and poultry and their
products. Market value of agricultural products sold
does not include payments received for participation
in federal farm programs. Also, it does not include
income from farm-related sources such as
customwork and other agricultural services, or
income from nonfarm sources.
Nonirrigated crop yields. The nonirrigated crop
yield averages are for nonirrigated crops harvested
from irrigated farms and are not comparable with
nonirrigated crop yield averages for total farms in
the State.
North American Industry Classification System.
The North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS) classifies economic activities. It was jointly
developed by Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. The
NAICS makes it possible to produce comparable
industrial statistics for Mexico, Canada, and the U.S.
Farms were classified by NAICS code based on their
2012 census report(s). Establishments primarily
engaged in crop production are classified in major
group 111. Establishments primarily engaged in
production of livestock and animal specialties are
classified in major group 112. Establishments are
further classified into the appropriate six-digit code
for the commodity or commodities which account
for one-half of the establishment’s agricultural
production.
Off-farm water supply. Off-farm water supply is
water from off-farm water suppliers, such as the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation; irrigation districts; mutual,
private, cooperative, or neighborhood ditches;
commercial companies; or community water
systems. It includes reclaimed water from off-farm
livestock facilities, municipal, industrial, and other
reclaimed water sources
On-farm surface supply. On-farm surface supply
is water from a surface source not controlled by a
water supply organization. It includes sources such
as streams, drainage ditches, lakes, ponds, reservoirs,
and on-farm livestock lagoons on or adjacent to the
operated land.
B - 6 Appendix B

Other drip, trickle, or low-flow micro systems.
This category is for any drip, trickle, or low-flow
micro systems that were not included in the other
three specific descriptions.
Other or unspecified discontinuance.
This
category is for any discontinuance reason that was
not specified on the report form.
Other pasture and grazing land that could have
been used for crops without additional
improvements. This category includes land used
only for pasture or grazing that could have been used
for crops without additional improvement. Also
included are acres of crops hogged or grazed but not
harvested prior to grazing. However, cropland that
was pastured before or after crops were harvested
was included as harvested cropland rather than
cropland for pasture or grazing. In 2008 this item
was referred to as Cropland used only for pasture or
grazing; data are comparable.
Other small grains (barley, oats, rye, etc.). This
category is not comparable with 2008 or earlier FRIS
publications. In previous report forms, barley had its
own specific code. In 2013 it did not have a specific
code and is included with Other small grains.
Other sprinkler systems. This is a new category
for 2013. It includes any sprinkler system that was
not listed on the report form.
Permanent pasture and rangeland. This land use
category encompasses grazable land that does not
qualify as woodland pasture or cropland pasture. It
may be irrigated or dry land. In some areas, it can be
a high quality pasture that could not be cropped
without improvements. In other areas, it is barely
able to be grazed and is only marginally better than
wasteland. In 2008 this category was referred to as
Other pastureland and rangeland; data are
comparable.
Primary
source
of
funding
assistance.
Respondents were instructed to only report the
primary source of funding assistance for
expenditures. Nonresponses to this item were
summarized as “No funding assistance.”
Pumps by average operating pressure.
Average operating pressure.

See

2012 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Pumps by average discharge operating pressure.
This category is the average pressure of pumps, other
than well pumps, used on the operation.
Reason for discontinuance of irrigation since
2012. These data reflect the expanded number of
operations that irrigated in 2012 but not in 2013 and
the acres or area irrigated in the previous census
year. The data also show the reason for
discontinuance. Some respondents reported multiple
reasons, while others gave no specific reason.
Reclaimed water. Reclaimed water is wastewater
that has been treated for non-potable reuse purposes.
Sources include municipal, industrial, off-farm
livestock operations, and other reclaimed water
sources. Water from off-farm livestock facilities,
municipal, industrial, and other reclaimed water
sources were reported as off-farm supplies. While
reclaimed water from on-farm livestock facilities
were reported as on-farm surface water.
Recycled water. Recycled water is the reuse of
surface or ground water that has already been used to
irrigate a crop on the operation. Recycled water use
was reported as on-farm surface water.
Solar pumps. The data were not published at the
State level because of low data reliability at the State
level. There are few operations with solar pumps in
the population.
Sources of irrigation information. These data
show which sources were used by farmers to help
them make irrigation decisions. The information for
this item was tabulated as reported. No imputation
was made for a blank response.
Sprinkler systems.
Center pivot systems are
published as either high-pressure delivery with water
delivered at 60 psi or more, medium pressure
delivery with water delivered at 30 to 59 psi, or low
pressure delivery with water delivered at less than 30
psi. Linear move tower and solid set or permanent
systems are published as medium to high pressure at
30 psi or more or low pressure, less than 30 psi. The
mechanical-move systems are further classified as
either linear move, side roll, wheel move, or big gun
where the sprinkler device is moved across the field
either by self-propelled methods or by tractor.
2012 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Hand move systems include any distribution systems
which are moved without mechanical assistance.
Other sprinkler systems include any other system not
listed on the report form.
Tailwater pits. Irrigation water is captured after the
initial application of irrigation water. The water
drains into a collection pit and is returned through an
irrigation system to irrigate the same field or other
fields.
Total cropland. This category includes cropland
harvested, cropland used only for pasture or grazing,
cropland idle or used for cover crops or soil
improvement but not harvested and not pastured or
grazed, cropland on which all crops failed or were
abandoned, and cropland in cultivated summer
fallow.
Water management practices. These practices
refer to gravity irrigation systems only. The
respondent reported whether they used any of the
techniques listed on the report form and the number
of acres on which they applied this technique. Some
respondents answered “Yes” to the screening
question, item 1 in Section 17, but did not indicate
which technique they used or the number of acres for
any technique. No imputation was made for a blank
response.

natural or planted woodlots or timber tracts and
cutover and deforested land with young growth
which has or will have value for wood products and
woodland pastured. Land planted for Christmas tree
production and short rotation woody crops was
reported in Cropland harvested.

woodland used for pasture or grazing during the
census year. Woodland or forest land pastured under
a per-head grazing permit was not counted as land in
farms and, therefore, was not included in woodland
pastured.
