Abstract
This report presents previously unreported State-level data on the structure
and characteristics of irrigated farms in Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida, and
the 17 Western States, which together account for 93 percent of all irrigated
acres in the Nation. Irrigated farms produce about 30 percent of the sales of
agricultural products from all U.S. farms. Data include distributions of
irrigated farms, irrigated acres, and value of agricultural products sold from
irrigated farms for a variety of farm operation and farm operator
characteristics. Data are derived from a special tabulation from the 1982
Census of Agriculture.
