Western Irrigated Agriculture: Tables

All tables summarize data by farm size and State

1. Total irrigation values, all irrigated farms
2. Average irrigation statistics (per farm)
3. Average irrigation statistics by water source (per farm)
   

   Tables 3-1 to 3-11 summarize farm numbers and weighted average water-applied statistics by water source, and purchased water-cost statistics, all by farm size class (and their farm-size percent distributions).  more...
