Caveats
- Figures are the Census of Agriculture's 'AG LAND, IRRIGATED - ACRES' total, land NASS classifies as irrigated regardless of what is grown on it; they are not a crop-by-crop breakdown.
- Quick Stats withholds some county values for disclosure; two of Idaho's 44 counties are withheld for 2017 and are omitted here rather than estimated.
- The Census of Agriculture is taken in years ending in 2 and 7; USDA also runs a Census of Irrigation and Water Management the following year (2013, 2018, 2023) that is a different survey and is not mixed into this series.
