Caveats

  • Figures are total acres NASS classifies as irrigated, regardless of what is grown; not a crop-by-crop breakdown.
  • Two of Idaho's 44 counties are withheld for disclosure in 2017 and omitted here rather than estimated.
  • USDA's separate Census of Irrigation and Water Management (2013, 2018, 2023) is a different survey and is not mixed into this series.
  • Understand Idaho pulls this series through USDA's Quick Stats programmatic API, which requires a registration key. The interactive tool linked above needs no key and returns the same figures.
