2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Introduction
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The primary purpose of the Irrigation and Water
Management Survey (IWMS), formerly known as the
Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey (FRIS), is to
provide data relating to on-farm irrigation activities
for use in preparing a wide variety of water-related
local programs, economic models, legislative
initiatives, market analyses, and feasibility studies.
The survey name was changed for 2018 to be more
inclusive of nursery and greenhouse growers.
Selected irrigation data for on-farm irrigation
operations have been collected in the census of
agriculture since 1890.
The 2018 Irrigation and Water Management Survey is
the ninth 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 to the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) in 1997. The
1998 survey utilized 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.
Previously, the farm and ranch irrigation surveys
published data only for the leading irrigation States
and the U.S. total without including Alaska and
Hawaii. In 2008, horticultural specialty operations
with sales of $10,000 or greater were included in the
survey for the first time.

one of the most complete and detailed profiles for
irrigation in the U.S.
Survey data are used by producers, farm
organizations, businesses, State departments of
agriculture, elected representatives and legislative
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 methods;
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 2018 Irrigation and Water Management 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.

USES OF SURVEY DATA

DATA COMPARABILITY

The 2018 Irrigation and Water Management Survey
provides data that supplement the basic irrigation data
collected from all farm and ranch operators in the
2017 Census of Agriculture. Irrigation data from this
survey, combined with the 2017 census data, provide

The data are mostly comparable between 2018 and
2013. For Tables 35, 36, and 38, the data are not
comparable between 2018 and 2013. In the 2013
survey, acres of horticulture in the open were reported

under the all other crops category. In the 2018 survey,
horticulture in the open was reported in a separate
category.
See Appendix A, Statistical Methodology for a
detailed discussion of data comparability.
WATER RESOURCES REGIONS MAP
The map on page 1 shows the Water Resources
Regions delineated to the approximate basin
boundaries based on the topographical 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
2018. The maps are included for reference purposes
only.
TABLES AND APPENDICES
The 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 2002 through 2017 Censuses of
Agriculture for each State. Tables 2 through 27
present detailed irrigation data collected in the 2018
Irrigation and Water Management Survey from
operations that reported irrigated land during 2018
and in the 2017 census. Excluded from these data are
institutional, research, and experimental operations.
Table 27 presents data on farm operations that
irrigated in 2017 but discontinued irrigation either
temporarily or permanently in 2018 while continuing
to operate a farm or ranch. Comparable adjusted 2013
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 2018
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 2018 irrigation data
collected on horticultural crops grown under
protection. Data are from horticultural operations that
reported irrigating in the 2017 census and also in the
2018 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
2018 Irrigation sample counts and the sample’s
corresponding 2017 census irrigated acreage. It also
provides the general 2018 Irrigation unexpanded and
expanded acres irrigated and 2017 census acres
irrigated. Table B provides a comparison of the
irrigated acres published in the 2017 Census of
Agriculture and expanded 2018 Irrigation and Water
Management Survey acres irrigated by size group.
Table C provides the standard error for selected data
for irrigated crops grown in the open in 2018. Table
D provides the standard error for selected
horticultural data in 2018.
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 Irrigation and Water Management Survey data are
included.
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

Statistical Methodology

THE SURVEY POPULATION

DATA COLLECTION

Sample Design

Method of Enumeration

The target population for the 2018 Irrigation and
Water Management Survey was composed of all
farms irrigating in the reference year of 2018. From
the 2017 Census of Agriculture, 198,368 records were
identified as belonging to the general U.S. irrigation
population on the basis of having irrigation activity on
their farm or ranch. The target population was
expanded to include any operations that had irrigated
land in the past five years. Institutional, research, and
experimental farms were excluded from the total
number of irrigators that reported in the 2017 census.

The 2018 Irrigation and Water Management Survey
was conducted using multiple data collection
strategies. Data were collected by mail, ComputerAssisted Web Interviewing (CAWI) via the Internet,
telephone enumeration, and personal enumeration.
Enumeration methods used in the 2018 survey were
similar to those used in the 2013 survey.

The sample was drawn at a State level 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 for each
State to ensure that the major irrigators in each State
were sampled. The remaining strata were sampled
systematically by irrigated 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 survey population and
achieved the appropriate coefficients of variation
(CV) levels at both the U.S. and State levels.

The final national sample size was 34,783 farms;
1,340 of these farms were selected from the certainty
strata and the remaining 33,443 farms were
systematically selected from the noncertainty strata.
Table A provides the State sample counts for the
survey, including acres associated with those counts,
final reports processed and tabulated both
unexpanded and expanded, and 2017 census counts.

Report Form
A single 20-page report form was used for the survey,
similar to the 2013 report form. The report form was
mailed to all the producers in the sample that reported
irrigation in the 2017 Census of Agriculture. See
Appendix B for copies of the report form and
instruction booklet and information regarding
changes between the 2013 and 2018 report forms.
Report Form
Follow-up

Mailings

and

Respondent

The initial mailout took place in February 2019. Mail
packets were mailed to 34,783 irrigators. The initial
mail packets included a labeled report form, an
instruction booklet, an instruction letter, 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 Center (NPC) in Jeffersonville, IN.
Telephone follow-up from a NASS Data Collection
Center began April 2019 to nonrespondents who were
mailed a report form from NPC.
Data were collected for a select group of operations
by the NASS regional field offices. To minimize the
number of agency contacts, operations were included
in this group if they were scheduled for contact by
Appendix A A - 1

NASS for other agricultural surveys. Report forms
were labeled at NPC and sent to the regional field
offices in November 2018. Regional field office staff
collected data by personal enumeration or by phone
from February 2019 through May 2019. For a
description of the adjustment for nonresponse, see
Estimation.
REPORT FORM PROCESSING
Data Capture
All report forms returned to NPC were immediately
checked in, using bar codes printed on the mailing
label, and removed from follow-up mailings. All
report forms were reviewed prior to data keying to
identify inconsistencies and to 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.

being published that could be sourced back to an
individual operation.
Imputation
Many data items in the 2018 Irrigation and Water
Management Survey used nearest neighbor hot-deck
imputation. Records were sorted by State and strata to
increase likelihood that the nearest neighbor donor
record was within the same State and stratum as the
recipient record. Some exceptions are described
below.
 Imputation for items related to ground water from
wells used a combination of techniques to
maintain relationships between other items in the
record. Based on available data, imputation
techniques were prioritized as listed directly
below:
- Other data in the record that referenced the
same well.
- Other wells on the same farm.
- Nearest neighbor hot-deck imputation
(accounts for missing information from
similar records in the same data set).

Data Editing and Analysis
Data from each report form were processed through a
computer edit which flagged missing or inconsistent
entries. Each report with a flagged entry was reviewed
by regional field office and/or headquarters
statisticians. Action was required for any record with
reported data that were clearly incorrect, for example,
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. These items
were tagged for machine imputation. 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 by the computer edit process were reviewed
and verified by analysts. Instances where imputed
data failed edit checks were referred to statisticians
for corrective action. The computer edit ensured the
data on a report form were internally consistent.
Prior to publication, tabulated totals were reviewed to
identify and resolve remaining irregularities.
Comparisons were made with 2017 census data, 2013
Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey data, and other
available check data. The data were processed
through a disclosure program to prevent data from
A - 2 Appendix A



Imputation for items related to acres harvested in
the open and pastureland was based on ratios
created at the State by stratum level, State level,
and U.S. level using good donor records.
- Priority was given to the ratio based on the
most similar contributors when there was a
sufficient number of donors (i.e., first same
State by stratum).



Imputation for sections that required categorical
or yes/no responses was based on the distributions
of farms that responded to the item.

Items that were imputed:
 Quantity of water applied;
 Well and pump characteristics;
 Energy costs of well pumps;
 Individual crop yields and quantity of water used;
 Horticulture water sources and methods; and
 Acres associated with expenditures, maintenance,
and repair costs.
ESTIMATION
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 a detailed description). The
estimation methodology consisted of two weighting
components that made up the total survey weight. The
first component was the fully adjusted weight pulled
in from the 2017 Census of Agriculture. This weight
accounted for any list incompleteness and
undercoverage from the 2017 census. The second
component was the sampling rate used for the 2018
Irrigation and Water Management Survey. 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 2018 Irrigation and Water
Management Survey 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 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.
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 report form for the 2018 Irrigation and Water
Management Survey was very similar to the report
form for the 2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey.
Only a small number of questions were either split,
dropped, or reworded. The data are mostly
comparable between 2013 and 2018. There are slight
differences due to the target population now including
those who irrigated in the past five years instead of
just those who had irrigated the prior year. However,
the population they represent is still the same, which
is all active irrigators in 2018 in the U.S.
The differences between the 2018 Irrigation and
Water Management Survey and the 2013 Farm and
Ranch Irrigation Survey are as follows:
 Number of hours pumps were operational during
the survey year was removed from 2018.
 Horticulture in the open was recorded under Other
cropland during 2013 while it was recorded as its
own commodity during 2018. Therefore, Other
cropland is not comparable between 2018 and
2013.
Differences exist between the expanded results of the
2018 Irrigation and Water Management Survey and
the published data from the 2017 Census of
Agriculture. Some of these are as follows:
1. The survey includes data only for operations that
irrigated sometime between 2013 and 2017 and
2018. Operations in some areas, especially the
eastern States, may irrigate only when moisture is
needed. 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 2017
but discontinued irrigation in 2018 is tabulated in
Table 27 for all farms and in Table 44 for
horticultural
operations
by
reason
of
discontinuance.
2. Some producers reported that they had been
misclassified as irrigators and did not irrigate in
either 2017 or 2018. Operations which indicated
they had not irrigated in 2017 but had in the past
five years were not counted as misclassified. In
addition to errors in processing census data, some
producers misreported or misinterpreted the
questions. Most of the producers misreporting
irrigation in the 2017 census reported irrigation of
Appendix A A - 3

small acreages of vegetables, fruits and nuts,
tobacco, field crops, or berries.

since 2017, took control of an existing irrigating farm
through sale, rental, or other arrangement).

3. Some respondents indicated they had retired,
moved, sold or rented the land, etc., since 2017.
These operations 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.

Overcoverage also existed in the frame because some
operations were misclassified as irrigators and did not
irrigate in 2017 or had either stopped farming or
irrigating in 2018. Farms in the sample that fell into
these groups were identified during the survey and
estimates are provided covering their number and
acres irrigated in the Data Comparability section,
items 2 and 3.

4. New irrigators in 2018 (not included in the 2017
census) did not have a chance for selection 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 2012 and
2017 Censuses of Agriculture irrigation data
which show little change in irrigated acres.

Survey Response Rate

Table B shows acres irrigated in the 2018 survey
(expanded) compared with U.S. totals from the 2017
Census of Agriculture. The expanded survey accounts
for 96.4 percent of all land reported as irrigated in the
2017 census and all irrigation characteristics
associated with that land.

The response rate is an indicator of the quality of data
collection. It is generally assumed that if a response
rate was close to 100 percent, the potential for
nonresponse bias is small. Because this survey
contains both farm and nonfarm records, the response
rate is an indicator of replying to the survey 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 2018
Irrigation and Water Management Survey is 64.4
percent. This compares to 69.8 percent for the 2013
Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey.
MEASURES OF PRECISION

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 errors are
caused by observing only a piece of the population
instead of the entire population. These errors are
subject to sample-to-sample variation. Nonsampling
errors include all other errors and can arise from many
different sources. These sources may include
respondent error, 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.
Undercoverage existed in the frame population to the
extent that there were irrigated farms that either
erroneously reported they were not irrigating on the
2017 census, started irrigating in 2018, or had
succeeding irrigators in 2018 (i.e., a producer who,
A - 4 Appendix A

Under the guidance of the Statistical Policy Office of
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) provides data
users with quality metrics for its published data series.
The accuracy of data products may be evaluated
through sampling and nonsampling error. The
measurement of error due to sampling in the current
period is evaluated by the coefficient of variation
(CV) for each estimated item. Nonsampling error is
evaluated by response rates and the percent of the
estimate from respondents.
Coefficient of variation is a measure of the relative
amount of error associated with a sample estimate.
Specifically, it is the standard error of a point estimate
divided by that estimate, generally multiplied times
100 so that it can be reported as a percentage. This
relative measure allows the reliability of a range of
estimates to be compared. For example, the standard
error is often larger for large population estimates
than for small population estimates, but the large
2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

population estimates may have a smaller CV,
indicating a more reliable estimate. Every estimate for
the 2018 Irrigation and Water Management Survey
has a corresponding CV published with it. NASS has
identified the following index to use when evaluating
coefficient of variation for the 2018 Irrigation and
Water Management Survey. The coefficient of
variation is used as an indicator of the precision in the
survey estimates and is reported for major survey
items in Table C and Table D.
 Low Reliability Estimate. Coefficient of
Variation (CV) 30 percent or higher. Caution

2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

should be used when using this estimate in any
form. Please consult NASS for more information
or guidance.


Medium Reliability Estimate. Coefficient of
Variation (CV) between 15 percent and 29.9
percent



High Reliability Estimate. Coefficient of
Variation (CV) less than 15 percent.

Appendix B.
General Explanation and Report Form
DEVELOPMENT OF THE REPORT FORM
Planning for the 2018 Irrigation and Water
Management Survey (IWMS) started in 2014 with the
closeout of the 2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation
Survey
(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 2013 FRIS were reviewed.
The decision was made to continue with the single
report form design to collect irrigation data from both
farm and ranch producers alongside horticultural
producers.
Under the leadership of the Methodology Division at
NASS, a complete review of the 2013 FRIS was
provided and cognitive testing was conducted. As a
result, the findings and recommendations led to the
following notable changes for the 2018 Irrigation and
Water Management Survey.
Major Changes
The only major change was the report form title.
Other changes included combining the water practices
sections.
Other Changes
Sections 1 and 2: Include and exclude items were
listed to gain the same improvements as the census of
agriculture report forms. The horticultural area
question was split to collect open acres separately
from under protection areas.
Section 3: Items 4a to 4c were reordered to separate
them from Number of wells. The reference text of
“artesian wells” was removed to capture wells as
“flowing wells that did not require a pump.” Removed
the Total Hours Operated column in items 5 and 5a.
2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Section 6:
column.

Removed Average Hours Operated

Section 9: The non-irrigated crop questions were
removed. This change was made for multiple reasons.
With the improved data collected in Section 2, too
many operations did not report their non-irrigated
land properly in later sections, resulting in
inconsistencies between cropland harvested in the
open acreage and the sum of both acres irrigated and
non-irrigated. The source of this inconsistency was
incomplete data in the non-irrigated crop columns.
Analysts were required to update a large number of
records manually to synchronize the items. The data
user was also confused as to what this data meant.
Many data users mistook the non-irrigated yield in
FRIS as being equivalent to the state’s non-irrigated
yield when it was just the non-irrigated yields on
irrigated farms only.
Sections 9 and 10: The All other crops grown in the
open category was split to collect Horticulture in the
open acres and All other non-horticulture crops grown
separately.
DATA CHANGES
Some history concerning the data changes from 2003,
2008, 2013, and 2018 are described here.
Publication Changes
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.
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
Appendix B B - 1

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

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.

2018: The title of the survey was changed from Farm
and Ranch Irrigation Survey (FRIS) to Irrigation
Water Management Survey (IWMS). The name of the
survey changed because the name did not specify
horticulture operations while the report form was
designed to include all irrigators. Only a small number
of changes were made to the combined report form to
separate mixed values.
Horticulture in the open acreage was recorded under
Other cropland on the 2013 report form and was
recorded separately from Other cropland in 2018.
This change affected tables 35, 36, and 38. Farm
counts, acreage values, water application rates, and
distribution methods for Other cropland are not
comparable between 2013 and 2018.
DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS
This section provides definitions and explanations of
specific terms and phrases used on the report form or
in the publication 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 affected by irrigation interruption. Acres or
area irrigated that had a stoppage of irrigation for a
period of time which resulted in an effect on crop
yields. Reasons for stopping irrigation included water
shortages, equipment failure, energy costs and
shortages, water salinity levels, water costs, and
changes in water access rights.
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
2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

could exceed the acres of cropland harvested. An
exception to this procedure was hay crops.
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, ebb-and-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 2018 Irrigation and Water Management
Survey data and the 2017 Census of Agriculture data.
Acres irrigated affected by expenditure. This 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 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.

2017 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 2018 report
form. Crops such as grass seed, sunflower seed,
sugarcane, etc. were included in other field crops.
Data are not comparable to 2013. Horticulture acres
in the open had its own category in 2018.
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.
Any water management practice used. See Water
management practices used.
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.
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 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 2014 to
2018. The information was tabulated as reported. No
Appendix B B - 3

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, cultivated 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.

Discharge capacity.

See Average

Cropland harvested in the open. Acres that included
harvested field crops and hay along with land used for
vegetables, orchards, citrus groves, vineyards, berries,
nuts, cultivated Christmas trees, short-rotation woody
crops, nursery and other horticultural crops grown in
the open. Does not include land used for growing
horticultural crops under protection nor cropland
reported as failed or used for cover crops.

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.

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:

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.

1. Land used for cover crops or soil improvement
but not harvested or grazed.

Farms using off-farm water. Respondents were
asked to report the amount (none, some, or all) of offfarm 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.

2. Land in Federal or State conservation programs
that was not hayed or grazed in 2018.
3. Land occupied with growing crops for harvest in
2019 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 2019 and no
crop was harvested from these acres in 2018.
4. Land in summer fallow in 2018.
5. Land with crops that failed and no crop was
harvested on the acreage in 2018.
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

Flowing wells used. Flowing or artesian 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.
Gross value of agricultural products sold. See
Market value of agricultural products sold.
Horticultural crops. The horticultural data are
published in the following categories:

2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Cultivated Christmas trees and short rotation woody
crops in the open. Includes all trees to be cut in 2018
or later years. Irrigated live Christmas trees were
reported in nursery crops.
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 under protection. Includes all
mushroom species that were irrigated in 2018. 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 trees and 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 in the open. 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 on the report form.
Fruit, nut, and vegetable crops grown in the open are
not considered horticultural crops.
Institutional, research, and experimental farms.
In prior censuses of agriculture, data for these farms
were combined with American Indian reservation
farms into one category. However, in the 2018
Irrigation and Water Management Survey and the
2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey, only
American Indian reservation farms were included in
the sample while institutional, research, and
2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

experimental farms were excluded.
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 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
producer’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.
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. Land under the
exclusive use of a grazing association was reported by
the grazing association and included as land in farms.
All land in American Indian reservations used for
growing crops or grazing livestock, or with the
potential of grazing livestock, was included as land in
farms. Land in reservations not reported by
reservations, individual American Indians, or nonNative Americans was reported in the name of the
Appendix B B - 5

cooperative group that used the land. In some
instances, an entire American Indian reservation was
reported as one farm.

floriculture, bedding crops, nursery crops,
propagative materials, food crops under protection,
and mushrooms.

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.
It includes sales by the producers 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.

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

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
2017 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.
Nursery and other horticultural crops. Nursery and
horticultural crops grown in the open, such as
floriculture, bedding crops, nursery crops, sod,
propagative materials, cultivated Christmas trees, and
short rotation woody crops.
Nursery, greenhouse, and other horticulture
under protection. Includes crops grown under glass,
rigid plastic, plastic film, shade cloth, fiberglass,
“tunnel” protection, and hoop houses. Crops that are
covered only temporarily, such as for frost protection,
are not considered as crops under protection. Includes
B - 6 Appendix B

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.
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.
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 both 2013 and 2018 it did not
have a specific code and is included with Other small
grains.
Other sprinkler systems. Includes any sprinkler
system that was not listed on the report form.

2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Permanent pasture and rangeland. This land use
category encompasses grazing 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.
Poly pipe (or other single-year use, lay-flat tubing).
Includes all short term surface tubing and pipes. Does
not include permanent above ground or underground
pipes.
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 discharge operating pressure.
This category is the average pressure of pumps, other
than well pumps, used on the operation.
Pumps by average operating pressure.
Average operating pressure.

See

Reason for discontinuance of irrigation since 2017.
These data reflect the expanded number of operations
that irrigated in 2017 but not in 2018 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.

2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Scheduled by water supplier. Producer’s decision to
irrigate was determined by a third party, subject to
delivery and availability conditions. Examples
include water delivered by trucks or canals not
controlled by the producer.
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.
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.
Surge flow or cablegation, mulch, or other types of
row covers. In 2013 this was referred to as Surge flow
or cablegation; the data are comparable. See Water
management practices.
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
Appendix B B - 7

improvement but not harvested and not pastured or
grazed, cropland on which all crops failed or were
abandoned, and cropland in cultivated summer
fallow.
USDA programs for water conservation and
environmental improvements (CTA, EQIP,
RCPP, WHIP, CIG). These technical and financial
resources include Conservation Technical Assistance,
Environmental Quality Incentives Program, Regional
Conservation Partnership Program, Wildlife Habitat
Incentive Program, and Conservation Innovation
Grants.
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 3 in
Section 14, but did not indicate which technique they
used or the number of acres for any technique. No
imputation was made for a blank response.

were tabulated by WRR. Boundaries of these areas are
shown on the map on page 1. Geographic descriptions
of the areas used to approximate water resources
region are as follows:

Woodland not pastured. These acres were included
in All other land. Woodland includes 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 pastured. This category includes all
woodland used for pasture or grazing during the
survey 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.

ON-FARM SURFACE WATER

Did this operation irrigate with on-farm surface water, including recycled water and on-farm reclaimed water, in 2018?
Recycled water is reused 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.)

Partnership Operations
Complete only ONE questionnaire for a partnership
operation and include all partners’ shares on the
same questionnaire. If two or more questionnaires
were received for the partnership, see instruction on
“If You Received More Than One Questionnaire for
the Same Operation” above.

Everyone who receives a questionnaire must fill it
out and return it, including nursery, greenhouse,
and other horticultural crop producers.
Use a blue or black ball point pen.
Round to whole acres.

How to Enter Your Responses on the
Questionnaire
Please enter your answers in the spaces provided
and in the units requested, i.e., number of acres,
dollars, percent, etc. Mark all applicable Yes/No
boxes with an “X”.

If You Received More than One Questionnaire
for the Same Operation
Duplicate form(s) — If you received extra report
forms for the SAME farming operation, return all
report forms in the same envelope as the
completed report. Make all entries clear and easy
to read.

Instructions by Section

Irrigation is the application of water by any artificial
or controlled means, such as sprinklers, furrows
and ditches, spreader dikes, flooding, hand
watering, or subirrigation pipes. Include the area
where lagoon waste water from livestock operations
was distributed by a sprinkler or flood system.

Complete Sections 1 and 2 of the questionnaire. If
you did not irrigate or water any cropland (including
nursery and greenhouse area in the open and
under protection), pastureland, or rangeland in
2018, complete Sections 1 and 2 and then go to
Section 16 on the back page and complete the
remainder of the questionnaire.

Include area in the open and under protection.
Under protection includes nursery, greenhouse,
floriculture, sod, mushrooms, vegetable seeds, and
propagative materials grown under glass, rigid
plastic, plastic film, shade cloth, fiberglass, “tunnel”
protection, and hoop houses. Crops covered only
temporarily to be further grown in the open should
not be included for area under protection.

Section 1 – Acreage in 2018
Report land owned, rented, or used by the
respondent, spouse, partnership, corporation, or
organization identified on the questionnaire. If you
did not operate any land in 2018, go to Section 18
on the back page and complete the remainder of
the questionnaire.

General
Refer to the instructions below for completing your
questionnaire. The enclosed census follow-on
questionnaire was mailed to producers and growers
throughout the United States. Because it is meant
for use in all parts of the country, it may contain
items and inquiries which do not apply to your
operation. In this case, mark the "No" or "None"
box and go on to the next item or section.

Include all land, regardless of location or use;
cropland, pastureland, rangeland, woodland, idle
land, greenhouses or other area under
protection, farmsteads, Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program
(WRP), Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), and
Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program
(CREP). All responses in this section should be
rounded to whole acres. Area under protection less
than one acre should be reported as one acre.
Exclude land used under a grazing permit.

Partial Year Operation
If you stopped farming during 2018, complete the
questionnaire for the portion of 2018 that you did
farm. Write “Stopped farming in 2018” and the date
you stopped farming below the address area. Mail
the completed questionnaire in the return envelope.

Item 1 - Report all land owned in 2018 by you
and/or your spouse, or by the partnership,
corporation, or organization named on the
questionnaire. Include all fields and tracts of
cropland, pastureland, woodland, wasteland, idle
land, and farmsteads.

B - 30 Appendix B

2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Item 2 - Report all land rented or leased from
others on shares, cash rent, used rent-free, in
exchange for services, for taxes, etc., regardless of
location, even if used for part of the year. Exclude
land used on a per-head basis under a grazing
permit or animal unit month (AUM) basis.

For conservation program land, if the operator was
allowed to cut conservation program land for hay,
then this land should be considered cropland
harvested; if it was grazed, it should be considered
other pasture and grazing land. Except for disaster
designation uses, almost all conservation program
land will be reported in item 1c, cropland not
harvested or grazed.

Item 3 - Report all land rented or leased to others
regardless of the purpose. Include land that was
rented and subleased to others.

Item 1a - Include as cropland harvested in the
open: field crops, hay and forage, land in
vegetables, citrus groves, vineyards, berries, nuts,
orchards, Christmas trees (whether harvested in
2018 or not), short rotation woody crops, nursery
and other horticultural crops such as bedding and
garden plants, nursery stock, and propagative
materials.

Item 4 - The acres in item 4, Box A, should equal
item 1 plus item 2 minus item 3. All responses to
this questionnaire should refer to these total acres
in this operation. It is important that this number
is correct as it is used to establish consistency
throughout the questionnaire. The acreage of this
operation must equal the acreage reported in
Section 2, item 4, column 1, Box B. After
completing Section 1, if the acres in Item 4, Box A
equal zero and you did not raise or own any
livestock, aquaculture, or poultry in 2018, write a
description of the land use in the space by item 4.
Complete Section 18 and mail the questionnaire in
the return envelope.

For winter wheat, report the 2018 acres harvested.

For double cropped acres if more than one crop
was harvested from the same land in 2018, report
those acres only once as cropland harvested.
Item 1b - Include as nursery, greenhouse, and
other horticulture under protection: crops grown
under glass, rigid plastic, plastic film, shade cloth,
fiberglass, “tunnel” protection, and hoop houses.
Crops covered only temporarily, such as for frost
protection, to be further grown in the open should
not be included for area under protection.

Section 2 – Land in 2018
Account for total acres in this operation in column
1 and irrigated land in this operation in column 2.
If the same land had more than one use in 2018,
report that land only once in the first use that
applies. Irrigation refers to the one or more
applications of water to land or crops by any
artificial or controlled means, such as sprinklers,
furrows and ditches, spreader dikes, flooding, hand
watering, or subirrigation pipes. Include the area
where lagoon waste water from livestock operations
was distributed by a sprinkler or flood system.

Item 1c - Include cropland used for cover crops,
cropland on which all crops failed, idle cropland,
cropland in summer fallow, and cropland in
government programs, including conservation
program land unless used for grazing, hay, or
forage. Include land on which sugarcane and
pineapples were grown but not harvested in 2018.

Include area in the open and under protection.
Under protection includes nursery, greenhouse,
floriculture, sod, mushrooms, vegetable seeds, and
propagative materials grown under glass, rigid
plastic, plastic film, shade cloth, fiberglass, “tunnel”
protection and hoop houses. Crops covered only
temporarily to be further grown in the open should
not be included for area under protection.

Item 2a - Exclude land used under a grazing
permit.
Item 2b - Report woodland pastured.
Item 2c - Include any pastured land other than
cropland and woodland pastured. Include rotation
pasture and grazing land that could have been
used for crops without additional improvements.

In addition to fully irrigated land, report as irrigated
any land to which partial, supplemental, or
semi-irrigation was applied in column 2. Also
include any acreage which received only preplant
irrigation (watered before planting). Hayland,
pastureland or rangeland should be reported as
irrigated if spring flood water was spread by
man-made canals, ditches, spreader dikes, pipes,
or other water works. Include acres where lagoon
wastewater from livestock operations was used for
irrigation. Include area under protection that was
hand watered.

Item 3 - Any land that does not fit into one of the
above categories. Include land in roads, buildings,
farmsteads, woodland not pastured, and wasteland.
Item 4 - This should equal the sum of all land uses
reported in items 1 through 3. Also, Box B acres
must equal acres in “this operation” reported in
Section 1, item 4, Box A. Anyone who irrigated
any land in 2018 should complete the entire
questionnaire.

Item 5 - This question helps determine if this
operation irrigated any area in the open or under
protection in 2018. If the answer to this question is
‘Yes’, then continue completing the form. If you did
not irrigate any area in the open or under
protection, check the ‘No’ box and go to Section 16
on the back page.

Item 5 - Report the well characteristics for up to 3
primary wells pumped on this operation in 2018.
Note: The 3 primary wells should include those
wells with the greatest quantity of water pumped in
2018. Report the characteristics for each individual
well even if these values are similar across wells. If
less than 3 wells were pumped in 2018, then only
report for those wells used. Do not include the
characteristics of free flowing wells that did not use
a well pump, reported in Item 4c.

Item 6 - Report the state with the largest amount
of irrigated land for “this operation.” If you irrigate
in more than one state and the acres irrigated
happens to be the same in those states, then report
the state that includes your farmstead.

Item 5a - If you used more than 3 wells in 2018,
then for all other wells (excluding the 3 primary
wells), report the average value for well
characteristics.

Section 3 – Ground Water From Wells
Water usage for this survey will be published in
acrefeet. An acre-foot is the quantity of water
needed to cover one acre to the depth of one foot,
or 326,000 gallons. Ground water is water from a
well or wells located on this operation.

Item 6 - Change in depth to water is defined as a
change in the depth of water from the well-head to
the water table level that has occurred over the last
five years prior to 2018.

reported in Section 9, report the primary type of
irrigation system in the first column by selecting the
appropriate water distribution code from the water
distribution code list above the table. Report the
number of acres irrigated from each water source
(ground, on-farm surface, and off-farm suppliers).

a. Floriculture and bedding crops - Bedding/garden
plants - annuals, herbaceous perennials,
vegetable plants; cut flowers and cut florist
greens; indoor foliage plants; potted flowering
plants; hanging baskets
b. Nursery crops - Nursery stock - ornamentals,
shrubs, flowering trees, evergreens, live
Christmas trees, fruit and nut trees and plants,
vines, palms, ornamental grasses, bareroot
herbaceous perennials; aquatic plants
c. Sod
d. Propagative materials - Bulbs, corms, rhizomes,
tubers, cuttings, seedlings, liners, plugs, flower

Then, for each irrigated crop, report the number of
acres that were irrigated applying chemigation, that
is, the application of fertilizers or pesticides through
the irrigation water. Report the acres of commercial
fertilizer application and acres for pesticide
application separately.

Note: For each crop, an irrigated acre harvested
may be reported in both the fertilizer and pesticide
columns. Therefore, for each crop, the sum of
chemigation acres may total more than the
corresponding irrigated harvested acres reported
for that crop in column 1 of section 9.

Item 4 - Report the area irrigated or watered for
horticultural crops grown in the open in 2018 by
irrigation method used on this operation. If more

b. Gravity Irrigation - refers to the free-flowing
application of water.
c. Sprinkler - Exclude hand-held sprinklers.
d. Drip, trickle, or low-flow micro irrigation - the
water is distributed down the rows by tapes
which meter out small amounts of water at low
pressure near the plant’s roots.
e. Subirrigation - this is sometimes referred to as
water seepage. It is used to maintain a water
table at a predetermined depth. Normally these
systems are permanently in place below the
rootline. Water is usually applied by using
emitters. Include hydroponic in this category.

Item 2 - Report the total acres and irrigated acres
for horticulture crops grown in the open to the
nearest tenth acre. Report the acres only once
even when multiple crops were harvested off the
same land. Irrigation refers to the application of
water to land or crops by any artificial or controlled
means.

Item 3 - Report acres for each horticulture crop
listed to the nearest tenth acre. Report acres of
each crop harvested, even when multiple crops
were harvested off the same land. For example, if
annual bedding plants and a nursery crop were
harvested from the same 2 acres, enter 2.0 acres
in the Floriculture and bedding crops category and
2.0 acres in the Nursery crop category. For each
category, enter the total acres grown in the open
and irrigated acres.

The total area reported, by method used, should be
equal to or greater than item 2, irrigated area, code
0738.
