PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE SURVEY 

The 1979 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey was conducted 

to supplement the basic irrigation data collected in the 1978 

Census of Agriculture. This survey was conducted on a sample 

basis to provide needed data for on-farm irrigation, without 

burdening all farm operators. This method allowed for the use 

of a shorter report form in the 1978 Census of Agriculture. 

The survey provides detailed information for on-farm irrigation 

such as: Acres irrigated, yields of irrigated and nonirrigated 

crops, quantity of water used, method of water distribution, 

type of pum ps, inventory and characteristics of irrigation wells, 

expenditures for pumping irrigation water, and expenditures for 

water obtained from off-farm suppliers. These data combined 

with data from the 1978 Census of Irrigation Organizations and 

the 1978 Census of Agriculture provide a relatively complete 

and detailed picture of irrigation in the conterminous United 

States. 

Selected irrigation data for on-farm irrigation have been collected in the census of agriculture since 1890. In 1902, a census 

of farms reporting irrigation in the 1900 Census of Agriculture 

was authorized by Congress. Surveys of irrigation in humid 

areas were taken in connection with the 1954 and 1959 

censuses. The 1979 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey is the 

first survey devoted entirely to the collection of on-farm irrigation for the conterminous United States. 

AUTHORITY AND AREA COVERED 

The census of agricultu re is authorized under the provisions 

of title 13, United States Code. Section 182 of this Act authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to make surveys deemed 

necessary to furnish annual or other data on the subjects 

covered by the census. The 1979 Farm and Ranch Irrigation 

Survey was conducted under the provisions of this section. 

FARM DEFINITION 

Since 1850, when minimum criteria defining a farm for 

census purposes were first established, the farm definition has 

been changed nine times, as the Nation has grown and changed. 

The current definition was announced on August 12, 1975, in 

accordance with a joi nt agreement between the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Office of Management and Budget, 

and the Bureau of the Census. It defines a farm, for statistical 

purposes, as any place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were sold or normally would have been sold 

during the census year. Any farm meeting this definition with 

agricultural land irrigated in 1978 had a chance of being included in this survey. The previous definition (used for the 

1959, 1964, and 1969 censuses and the 1974 preliminary 

county reports) counted as a farm any place with less than 

10 acres from which $250 or more of agricultural products 

were sold or normally would have been sold during the census 

year, or any place of 10 acres or more from which $50 or more 

of agricultural products were sold or normally would have been 

sold during the census year. 

GRAPHICS 

Charts and maps are presented to show total precipitation 

for the United States, and drainage boundaries within the 

United States. The map showi ng Water Resou rces Areas and 

Aggregated Subareas differ from the map showing Water Resources Regions and Subregions in the method of boundary 

delineation. Water Resources Regions and Subregions are delineated on the basis of topographic drainage characteristics; 

whereas, Water Resources Areas and Aggregated Subareas are 

delineated on the basis of county boundaries, which approximate actual water resou rces bou ndaries. 

TABULAR PRESENTATION 

Table 1 shows farms and acres irrigated for the censuses of 

1959 through 1978 and the 1979 Farm ,and Ranch Irrigation 

Survey. Tables 2 and 19 through 24 present detailed data for 

the 20 principal irrigating States, 28 Eastern States, and 18 

Water Resources Areas. These tables include data on farm 

counts, acres irrigated, size of farms irrigated, standard industrial classifications, value of agricultural products sold by 

amount of sales, and selected characteristics of farms by acreage 

of crops irrigated and reasons for discontinuance of irrigation. 

Also, some historical data are included from previous censuses. 

Table 22 shows selected characteristics of irrigated farms by 

the largest irrigated crop. This table presents such data as: Value 

of agricultural products sold, method of water distribution, 

quantity of water applied by source, and expenditures for 

energy on those specific crops accounting for the largest acreage 

irrigated on the farm. Tables 3 through 18 present data for the 

~O principal irrigating States, 28 Eastern States, and 60 Water 

Resources Areas and Aggregated Subareas. These tables show 

data on farm counts, land use, quantity of water applied by 

method of distribution, energy use, and expenditures for maintenance and investments.

CENSUS DISCLOSURE RULES 

In keeping with the provisions of title 13, United States 

Code, data are not published that would disclose the operations 

of an individual farm. However, the number of farms in a given 

size category or other classification is not considered a disclosure. 

In many tables, data are suppressed and a (D) is used instead 

of a number to ensure the confidentiality of information on a 

characteristic of an individual farm. It is necessary to suppress 

data when the value of an item for one or two farms can be 

definitely or approximately determined by mathematical 

manipulation. 

Suppressions of data within frequency distributions are 

accomplished in a way that will maintain maximum integrity 

of the frequency group as suppressions are made whenever 

possible in adjacent frequency classes. This allows the user, 

by subtraction from the total, to have a farm count and total 

quantity reported for the combined suppressed frequencies. 

Although the published frequency data are not complete, the 

truncated frequency distribution is available for analysis 

purposes.

PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT 

Follow-on surveys have become an integral part of each 

census of agriculture and initial planning begins with each 

census. To assist with the planning and coordination of data 

collection for th is survey, an interagency comm ittee was 

established in February 1977 as a task force on water-use data. 

This committee consisted of representatives from: 

U.S. Water Resources Council 

U.S. Department of Agriculture-Economic Research Service 

(ERS); Soil Conservation Service (SCS); Science and Education Administration (SEA); and Statistical Reporting 

Service (SRS) 

U.S. Department of Commerce-Bureau of the Census and 

Bureau of Economic Analysis 

U.S. Department of Interior-Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

Bureau of Reclamation, and Geological Survey 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

This committee, in conjunction with representatives from 

various private agencies, were sol icited for their data needs and 

comments. These results helped document the questions and the 

development of a pretest report form. 

Prior to the actual sur~ey, the content and format of the 

report form was tested on a sample of irrigated farms. Results 

from the pretest were used to finalize the content of the report 

form. Overall content of the form was changed very little; 

however, there were a number of changes in the format of 

certain sections to improve clarity. 

SAMPLE SELECTION 

The su rvey sample was selected from agricultural operations 

reporting irrigation activities in the 1978 Census of Agriculture. 

This sample represented approximately 10 percent of the 

303,000 operations that reported, excluding abnormal (Indian 

reservations, institutional, experimental, and research farms) 

and horticultural specialty farms, and all irrigated farms in 

Alaska and Hawaii. The sample was designed to provide data for 

Water Resources Areas and Aggregated Subareas as delineated 

by the U.S. Water Resources Council. All irrigation operations 

in the 20 principal irrigating States with 3,000 or more acres 

irrigated, and the 28 Eastern States with 200 or more acres 

irrigated were included in the sample. Farms with smaller 

acreage irrigated were sampled by strata within the 60 Water 

Resources Areas and Aggregated Subareas Water Resources 

Areas were sampled in all States; however, Water Resources 

Aggregated Subareas were also sampled in the selected Water 

Resources Areas. 

METHOD OF ENUMERATION AND 

DATA COLLECTION 

The 1979 Farm and Ranch I rrigation Survey was conducted 

by mail for maximum economy, supplemented by telephone 

calls to selected nonrespondents. Approximately 32,000 report 

forms were mailed beginning in March 1980. The initial mail 

package included a report form for the respondent's records, a 

pamphlet explaining why the survey was being taken, and a 

transmittal letter requesting prompt response. The operators 

were asked to complete and mail the report form to the Bureau 

of the Census. The initial mailing was followed by four mail 

followups between the last week of May and the second week of 

August. The first and third mail followups included report 

forms, while the second and fourth followups consisted of only 

a reminder letter. Telephone calls were made at the conclusion 

of the enumeration period to al'- nonrespondents with large 

irrigated acreage and selected smaller irrigation operations as 

reported in the 1978 Census of Agriculture. 

Data collection was completed in November 1980, with a 75-

percent response. Data for large operations not contacted or 

refusing to provide information were imputed from information 

reported in the 1978 Census of Agriculture. For a description of 

the adjustment for nonresponse, see Statistical Adjustment. 

DATA PROCESSING 

All report forms were subjected to a clerical edit to identify 

those with inconsistencies and to ensure abil ity to key the data. 

Major inconsistencies, incorrect entries, blank forms, and large 

irrigation cases were referred to statisticians for review and 

corrections. After the report forms were edited and corrected, 

they were data keyed to magnetic tapes. Data from each report 

form" were subjected to a detailed item-by-item computer edit. 

The edit included comprehensive checks for consistency and 

reasonability of reported and corrected data and, when needed, 
VIII GENERAL EXPLANATION-Continued 

made adjustments based on similar size farms within the same 

geographic area. Entries of large magnitude and significant 

computer·generated changes, to the data, were verified. 

Many of the acceptability limits on data were necessarily 

wide, making it impossible to identify and correct all errors or 

to always supply precise estimates for all the incompleteness in 

the reports. These factors and others may affect the reliability 

of data for some minor data items, but they should not have a 

sign ificant effect on major data items. 

Also, prior to tabulation, the entire data file was subjected to 

a series of consistency checks. Inconsistencies in the data were 

identified and corrected. 

Prior to publication, tabulated totals were reviewed to 

identify remaining inconsistencies and potential coverage prob· 

lems. Comparisons were made to 1978 census data and other 

check data. Selected report forms were reviewed and problem 

entries were either verified as being correct or the data were 

corrected. 

COMPARABILITY OF DATA 

The 1978 Census of Agriculture includes data for all farms in 

the United States with irrigated land in 1978 including 

horticultu ral specialty farms and abnormal farms. The 1979 

Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey excludes operations irrigating 

in 1979 that did not irrigate in 1978, horticultural specialty 

farms, abnormal farms, and farms in Alaska and Hawaii. Volume 

5, Part 7, 1979 Census of Horticultural Specialties, includes 

some data on irrigated acres used for outdoor production of 

nursery products, sod, and other horticultural products. 

Farmers in some areas irrigate intermittently and farmers in 

other areas are commencing irrigation operations each year. 

Data for operations that discontinued irrigation in 1979 were 

tabulated separately and appear in table 24. 

Reporting error in the 1978 Census of Agriculture account 

for a difference between the number of farms reporting 

irrigation in 1978 and 1979. Approximately 16,000 farms that 

reported irrigation in the 1978 census responded that they did 

not irrigate in 1979 nor in 1978. There are several reasons for 

this discrepancy. Report forms may have had acres irrigated 

imputed by the computer edit, or farmers may have misreported 

or misinterpreted the questions. Most of the.farms misreporting 

irrigation in the 1978 census reported irrigation of small acreage 

of vegetables, fruits and nuts, tobacco, potatoes, or berries. 

Small amounts of water were applied at the time of trans· 

planting these crops. 

When comparing farms and acres irrigated between the 1979 

survey and the 1978 census, coverage is adequate for farms 

reporting 50 or more acres irrigated. Data for farms reporting 

less than 50 acres irrigated provides less coverage. Table A shows 

acres irrigated in the 1979 survey and the 1978 census. The data 

for the 1979 survey do not include horticultural specialty and 

abnormal farms nor farms not irrigating in 1978, but irrigating 

in 1979. The data for the 1978 census include horticultural 

specialty and abnormal farms. 

A great deal of caution should be used with minor 

characteristics of irrigated farms within a geographic area. These 

minor characteristics have a high sampling error rate and tend to 

have a higher reporting error rate. 

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS 

Definitions and explanations of terms in this section provide 

more detailed descriptions for selected items and terms than are 

available on the report forms or in the tables. For an exact 

wording of the 1979 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey report 

form and the information sheet, see the appendix. 

Water Resources Areas (WRA) and Aggregated 

Subareas (ASA) 

Data from the 1979 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey were 

tabulated by WRA's and ASA's. Boundaries of these areas are 

shown in the map on page XVII, and on a large·scale map in the 

back of this volume. A written description of the WRA 

boundaries is not available, but the boundaries are essentially 

the same as the Water Resources Regions (WR R's) as deline· 

ated and defined by the U.S. Water Resources Council. The 

areas and subareas differ somewhat from the regions and sub· 

regions because of the method used for boundary delineation. 

The region and subregion boundaries which are shown in the 

map on page XVIII, are delineated on the basis of topographic 

drainage characteristics, whereas, areas and subareas, are deli· 

neated on the basis of county boundaries which approximate 

actual drainage·basin boundaries. The areas and subareas bear 

the same names and codes as regions. For example, the Texas 

Gulf Region (WR R 12) refers to the area draining into the Gulf 

of Mexico along the Texas shore. The Texas Gulf Area (WRA 

12) refers to the counties that approximate the area of the 

Texas Gulf Region (WRR 12) as shown in the tables of this 

publ ication. 

Geograph ic descriptions of each Water Resources Region that 

can be used to approximate the area included in each Water 

Resources Area are:

Irrigated Farms 

This category includes farms with any agricultural land 

irrigated in the specified calendar year. The acreage irrigated 

may vary from a very small portion of the total acreage in the 

farm to irrigation of all agricultural land in the farm. 

Acres Irrigated 

This category includes acreage of agricultural land to which 

water was artificially applied by controlled means to include preplant, partial, supplemental, and semi-irrigation. Land flooded 

during high-water periods was to be included as irrigation only if 

the water was diverted to agricultlHal land by dams, canals, or 

other works. 

On-Farm Surface Supply 

This category includes water from a surface source not 

controlled by a water supply organization. It includes sources 

such as streams, drainage ditches, lakes, ponds, and reservoirs on 

or adjacent to the operated land. 

Off-Farm Water Supply 

This category includes water from off-farm water suppliers, 

such as U.S. Bureau of Reclamation; irrigation districts; mutual, 
x GENERAL EXPLANATION-Continued 

private, cooperative, or neighborhood ditches; commercial 

companies; or community water systems. 

Acre-Feet 

The quantity of water required to cover 1 acre to a depth of 

foot is an acre·foot. This is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet or 

325,850 gallons. 

Flowing or Artesian Wells 

An artesian well is a deep irrigation well under hydrostatic 

pressure which, under normal conditions, requires a pump to 

lift the water to the surface; and a flowing well does not require 

a pump. 

There were no provisions made on the report form for the 

respondents to report artesian or flowing wells. Therefore, all 

of these wells had to be identified during the processing of the 

survey from remarks or other indications made by the respondent. 

In almost all cases, it was impossible to determine if pumps 

were used on these types of wells. 

Hence, all flowing or artesian wells were excluded from tables 

9 and 10. This should be taken under consideration when using 

the data from these two tables. 

Land in Farms 

The acreage designated in the tables 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 operator's total operation. Large acreages of 

woodland or wasteland held for nonagricultural purposes should 

not have been reported by the respondent. If this land was 

reported, it was deleted from individual reports during the 

processing operations. 

Land in farms is an operating unit concept that includes land 

owned and operated as well as land rented from others. Land 

used rent free was to be reported as land rented from others. 

Except for open range and grazing land used under government 

permits, all grazing land was included as "land in farms" 

provided it was part of a farm or ranch. 

Total Cropland 

This category includes all harvested cropland, cropland used 

only for pasture, and other cropland. 

Harvested Cropland 

This category includes land from which crops were harvested 

or hay was cut; and land in orchards, citrus groves, vineyards, 

nurseries, and greenhouses. Land from which two or more crops 

were harvested was counted only once, even though there was 

more than one use of the land. 

Cropland Used Only for Pasture 

This category includes land used only for pasture or grazing 

that could have been used for crops without additional 

improvement, and all land planted in crops that were grazed 

before the crops reached maturity. Also included was all 

cropland used for rotation pasture and land in government 

diversion programs that was pastured. However, cropland that 

was pastured before or after crops were harvested was not 

included. 

Other Cropland 

This category includes cropland used only for soil improvement crops, land on which all crops failed, cultivated summer 

fallow, idle cropland, and land planted in crops that were to be 

harvested after the census year. 

Woodland 

This category includes both woodland pastured and not 

pastured. For census purposes, woodland includes natural or 

planted woodlots or timber tracts and cutover and deforested 

land with young growth that has or will have value for wood 

products. Land covered by sagebrush or mesqu ite was reported 

as other pasture or other land. 

Woodland Pastured 

This category includes woodland used for pasture or grazing 

during the census year. Woodland or forest land pastured under 

a per-head grazing permit was not counted as land in farms and, 

therefore, it is not included in these data. 

Other Land 

This category includes land in house lots, barn lots, ponds, 

roads, and wasteland. 

Value of Agricultural Products Sold 

This item represents the gross market value before taxes and 

production expenses of all agricultural products sold or removed 

from the place in 1978 regardless of who received the payment. 

It includes sales by the operator as well as the value of any 

shares received by partners, landlords, contractors, and others 

associated with the operation. These data were taken from the 

1978 Census of Agriculture report form for survey respondents. 

The value of agricultural products sold represents the sum of 

all crops including nursery products sold, and livestock and 

poultry and their products sold. It does not include income 

from farm·related sources, such as customwork or agricultural 

services, or income from nonfarm sources. 

The value of agricultural products sold in 1978 does not 

necessarily represent the sales from crops harvested in 1978. 

Data include sales from crops produced in earlier years and 

exclude some crops produced in 1978, but held in storage and 

not sold in 1978. For crops sold through a co·op which made 

payments in several installments, only the total payments 

rece ived in 1978 were to be reported. 

The value of agricultural products sold was collected from .all 

operators. Where the operator failed to report a value of sales, 

estimates were made based on the amount of crops harvested, or 

the number of livestock or poultry sold. Extensive estimation 
GENERAL EXPLANATION-Continued XI 

was required for operators growing crops or livestock under 

contract. 

Acres and Quantity Harvested 

Crops were reported in whole acres. If two or more crops 

were harvested from the same land during the year, the acres 

would be counted for each crop. Therefore, the total acres of all 

crops harvested generally exceeds the acres of harvested 

cropland. The exception to this procedure is hay crops. When 

more than one cutting of hay was taken from the same acres, 

the acres are counted only once but the quantity harvested 

includes hay from all cuttings. For interplanted crops or 

"skip-row" crops, acres were to be reported according to the 

portion of the field occupied by each crop. 

If a crop was planted but not harvested, the acreage was not 

to be reported as harvested. These acres were to be reported in 

the "land use" section under the appropriate cropland itemscropland used only for pasture or grazing, or other cropland. 

Acres of land in bearing and non bearing orchards--citrus or 

other groves, vineyards, and nut trees-were to be reported as 

harvested cropland regardless of whether the crop was harvested 

or failed. However, abandoned orchards were to be reported as 

cropland idle, not as harvested cropland or for the indiVidual 

crop acreages. 

Crop Unit of Measure 

Respondents were instructed to report each crop in the same 

unit of measure in all areas. For example, corn for grain or seed 

was reported in bushels shelled, and rice was reported in 

100-pound bags. 

Farms by Standard I ndustrial Classification 

Irrigated farms and ranches are classified by standard 

industrial classification (SIC), as described in the 1972 SIC 

Manual. This classification was designed to promote uniformity 

and comparability for statistical data collected by various 

agencies. An establishment (farm, ranch, nursery, greenhouse, 

etc.) primarily engaged in crop production (major group 01) or 

livestock production (major group 02) is classified in the 3- or 

4-digit industry group, which accounts for 50 percent or more 

of the total value of sales from agricultural products. If the total 

value of agricultural products sold by an establishment was less 

than 50 percent from a single 4-digit industry, but 50 percent or 

more from the products of two or more 4-digit industries within 

the same 3-digit industry group, the establishment is classified in 

the miscellaneous industry of that industry group; otherwise, it 

is classified as a general crop farm in industry 0191 or a general 

livestock farm in industry 0291. 

All farms in the 1978 census were classified by SIC. 

Classifications of irrigated farms by selected SIC groupings are 

shown in table 19. The SIC code was obtained from the 1978 

Census of Agriculture report form for survey respondents. 

Principal I rrigating States 

The 20 principal irrigating States are: Arizona, Arkansas, 

California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, 

Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. 

NONSAMPLING ERRORS 

Every census or survey is subject to errors. In addition to 

sampling variability, errors may arise from incorrect or incomplete reporting, processing, and the inability to obtain a report 

from each eligible reporting unit. Sampling variability is 

discussed below under Statistical Adjustments. 

Some data reported in this survey may be incorrect as a 

result of the misinterpretation of questions or because of the 

use of estimates in reporting. Data processing adjustments were 

made to data items which appeared to be inconsistent with 

other items reported for the same farm. 

Respondents may have failed to provide all of the information requested. I n some cases, the respondent may have 

indicated the presence of an item but not the amount. 

Imputations were made for missing data on acres irrigated, 

quantity of water used, method of water distribution, quantities 

of crops harvested; but no imputations were made for affects of 

discontinuance of irrigation on crop yields, expenditures on 

irrigation facilities, and other irrigatio" uses on the place such 

as: application of fertilizer, chemicals, or water to prevent 

freeze damage. 

Careful efforts were made to keep errors introduced during 

clerical and electronic processing to a minimum through the use 

of quality control, verification, and check measures on specific 

operations. 

STATISTICAL ADJUSTMENT 

The estimates for this survey are based on a probability 

sample of farms identified in the 1978 Census of Agriculture. 

To achieve these estimates certain adjustments were made to the 

data collected. 

Sample Selection 

Farms enumerated in the 1979 Farm and Ranch Irrigation 

Survey were a sample of irrigated farms identified in the 1978 

Census of Agriculture. All farms in the 1978 Census of 

Agriculture were divided into strata based on (1) water 

resources areas and subareas, (2) the number of acres irrigated, 

and (3) whether they were enumerated from the mail list or 

from the direct enumeration area sample. The number of acres 

irrigated to define strata changed from water resources subarea 

to subarea. All large farms and all farms from the direct 

enumeration area sample with a large expansion factor were 

included into the sample as certainty farms. 

Within each noncertainty strata a systematic sample of farms 

was selected. Samples were selected independently by water 

resources area and within each stratum of a water resources 

subarea. A different integer sampling interval was used for each 

stratum. 
XII GENERAL EXPLANATION-Continued 

Whole Farm Nonresponse 

Each farm included in the sample was mailed a series of 

report forms and letters to encourage response. All nonrespondents in the certainty strata were telephoned. When responses 

could not be obtained from certainty farms, data were imputed 

using the 1978 census report form and information from similar 

farms which responded to the 1979 Farm and Ranch Irrigation 

Survey. 

Nonrespondents in the noncertainty strata were enumerated 

on a sample basis. A sample of one-in-six nonresponding farms 

was selected to be enumerated. To correct the non response 

among farms in the survey, an adjustment was made to the 

expansion factor of enumerated and imputed farms. The 

expansion factor was adjusted by stratum within a water 

resources subarea. 

Method of Estimation 

Estimates were made by weighing the data for each farm by 

the initial sampling interval adjusted for non response. A final 

expansion factor was calculated by multiplying the adjustment 

factor by the original expansion factor. Weights assigned to 

individual farms range from 1 to 1,825. 

RELIABILITY 

The statistics in this report are estimates derived from a 

sample survey. Two types of errors are possible in an estimate 

based on a sample survey-sampling and nonsampling. Sampling 

error occurs because observations are made only on a sample, 

not on the entire population. Nonsampling errors can be 

attributed to many sources, e.g., inability to obtain information 

about all cases in the sample, definitional difficulties, difference 

in the interpretation of questions, inability or unwillingness to 

provide correct information on the part of respondents, 

mistakes in recording or coding the data obtained and other 

errors of collections, responses, processing, coverage, and 

estimation for missing data. Also, nonsampling errors occur in 

complete censuses. The "accuracy" of a survey result is 

determined by the joint affects of sampling and nonsampling 

errors. 

Coverage 

The target population for th is survey is all farms reporting 

irrigation in the 1978 Census of Agriculture or their successors. 

The population of farms from which the sample was selected 

was different from the target population. This difference 

introduces a coverage error. This coverage error is caused by 

several factors: (1) the list of farms from which the sample was 

selected was a preliminary list which did not include all farms in 

the census, (2) horticultural specialty and abnormal farms were 

excluded from the sample, (3) respondents reporting errors in 

the census, and (4) farms which went out of business after the 

census were dropped from the sample. 

In 1978, there were 2,302 abnormal farms which accounted 

for 56 million acres of land and $245 million in the value of 

agricultural products sold. Of these abnormal farms, 769 farms 

reported irrigating 297,278 acres. Also, in 1978 there were 

16,105 horticultural specialty farms that reported 253,698 

irrigated acres. In Alaska and Hawaii, there were 1,528 irrigated 

farms and 160,243 acres irrigated, that were excluded to reduce 

respondent bu rden. 

If the operator of a 1979 sample farm continued to operate 

any part of the farm he/she operated in 1978, the operator was 

eligible for inclusion in the survey regardless of the size of the 

1978 operation. However, if the operator did not operate any 

part of the farm in 1979 he/she operated in 1978, the operator 

was requested to identify who the operator was in 1979. To 

avoid duplication in the sample, the "new" operator was eligible 

for inclusion in the survey only if he/she did not farm at all in 

1978. By use of this successor procedure, survey estimates 

account for consolidations and breaking up of farms. This 

permits some "new" operators to fall into the sample, and 

prevents an operator from having more than one chance of 

being selected in the sample. Unless it was directly obtainable 

from sample farms, farms starting into business after the census 

were not included in the survey. 

Some respondents were incorrectly classified as irrigation 

farms in the 1978 Census of Agriculture. The survey identified 

farms with no irrigation in either 1978 or 1979. An estimated 

16,000 farms reporting irrigation in the 1978 census did not 

irrigate in that year. 

Table B measures in part the coverage error associated 

with the survey. 

Nonresponse Adjustment 

Budget restrictions prevented the enumeration of all farms in 

the nonresponse adjustment sample which introduced a potential bias of unknown size to the survey. If the estimates are to 

be unbiased, the adjustment procedure used requires that on the 

average, nonrespondent farms be the same as respondent farms 

and that all non respondents operate farms. 

Item Nonresponse and Processing Error 

Misinterpretation of questions by respondents resulted in 

some incorrect or missing answers. During processing, respondent data were examined for consistency and reasonability. 

Data considered unreasonable or missing were estimated based 

on responses to related questions, subject matter specialists' 

knowledge of the subject, and by statistical estimation procedures. Processing errors, item nonresponse, and respondent 

problems introduced a nonsampling error for which there is no 

measure. 

Sampling Error 

The sample used for this survey is the same size as many 

other possible samples using the same design. However, estimates derived from the different samples would differ from 

each other. 

The standard or sampling error of a survey estimate is a 

measure of the variation of the estimates from all possible

samples, and thus is a measure of the precision with which an 

estimate from a particular sample approximates the average 

result of all possible samples. The relative standard error is 

defined as the standard error of the estimate divided by the 

value being estimated times 100. 

As calculated for this report, the standard error also partially 

measures the effect of certain nonsample errors, but does not 

measure any systematic biases on the data. Bias is the 

difference, average of all possible samples, between the esti· 

mates and the desired values. Obviously, the accuracy of the 

survey depends on both the sampling and nonsampling errors 

measured by the standard error and the bias and other types of 

nonsampling error not measured by the standard error. 

The sample estimate and an estimate of the standard error 

permit us to construct interval estimates with prescribed 

confidence that includes the average result of all possible 

samples (for a given sampling rate) for that interval. 

To illustrate, if all possible samples were selected and each of 

these were surveyed under the same conditions, and its 

estimated standard error were calculated from each sample, 

then: 

1. Approximately two-thirds of the intervals from one 

standard error below the estimate to one standard error 

above the estimate would include the average value of all 

possible samples. We call an interval from one standard 

error below the estimate to one standard error above the 

estimate a 67 -percent confidence interval. 

2. Approximately 9/10 of the intervals from 1.6 standard 

errors below the estimate to 1.6 standard errors above the 

estimate would include the average value of all possible

samples. We call an interval from 1.6 standard errors 

below the estimate to 1.6 standard errors above the 

estimate a 90-percent confidence interval. 

3. Approximately 19/20 of the intervals from two standard 

errors below the estimate to two standard errors above 

the estimate would include the average value of all 

possible samples. We call an interval from two standard 

errors below the estimate to two standard errors above 

the estimate a 95-percent confidence interval. 

4. Almost all intervals from three standard errors below the 

sample estimate to three standard errors above the sample 

estimate would include the average value of all possible 

samples. 

The average value of all possible samples mayor may not be 

contained in any particular computed interval. But for a 

particular sample, one can say with specific confidence that the 

average of all possible samples is included in the constructed 

interval. 

For example, an approximate 95-percent confidence interval 

on the num ber of farms irrigating in Oregon in 1979 can be 

constructed as follows: 

1. The estimate of the number of farms irrigating is 14,423 

from table 1. 

2. The estimate of the relative standard error of the estimated total is 6.1 from table C. 

3. An estimate of the absolute standard error of the estimate 

can be calculated by multiplying the estimate times the 

relative error of the estimate divided by 100. 

Absolute standard error = (14,423) x (6.1/100) 879.8

4. A 95-percent confidence interval is constructed by adding 

and subtracting twice the absolute standard error from the 

estimate. 

Confident limit 

Upper = 16,182.6 = 14,423 + 2 x (879.8) 

Lower = 12,663.4 = 14,423 - 2 x (879.8) 

The estimate and confi'dence interval can be interpreted in 

the following way. The best estimate of the number of farms 

irrigated in Oregon is 14,423. You can be 95-percent confident 

that the average result of all possible samples lies in the interval 

of 12,663.4 to 16,182.6. 

Estimation of Sampling Error 

Sampling error was estimated using a random group method 

of estimation within each stratum. When the sample was 

selected, each sample farm in a stratum was assigned to one of 

eight random groups. An estimate of the stratum total was made

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS 

Method of Irrigation 

There were 50.2 million acres irrigated by different water 

distribution systems in the contermi nous United States in 1979. 
GENERAL EXPLANATION-Continued XVI 

Of these acres, about 0.5 million acres were irrigated by more 

than one system, 31.2 million acres (62.2 percent) by gravity 

flow systems, and 18.4 million acres (36.7 percent) by sprinkler 

systems. 

Flooding was the major method of gravity flow irrigation 

used, followed by ditches with siphon tubes and gated pipe. Of 

the land irrigated by this method, flooding accounted for 14.2 

million acres (28.2 percent), ditches with siphon tubes for 8.7 

million acres (17.3 percent), and gated pipe for 8.4 million 

acres (16.8 percent). 

Sprinkler systems were used to irrigate 18.4 million acres (36.7 

percent). Of these, 8.6 million acres (17.2 percent) were irrigated by center pivot systems, 5.1 million acres (10.1 percent) 

by mechanical move systems, 3.7 million acres (7.4 percent) by 

hand move systems, and almost 1 million acres (2.0 percent) by 

solid set and permanent systems. The use of the sprinkler 

system has almost doubled since 1974, when comparable data 

were first collected in the census of agriculture, showing 9,9 

million acres irrigated by this method. 

Quantity of Water Applied 

A total of 93.1 million acre-feet of water was applied to the 

50.1 million acres irrigated in 1979, an average of 1.86 acre-feet 

per acre irrigated in the conterminous United States. The 

average amount of water applied per acre in the principal 

irrigating States ranged from a high of 3.45 acre-feet in Arizona 

to a low of 1.01 acre-feet in South Dakota. The average for the 

remaining States was 0.94 acre-feet. 

The amount of water applied per acre varied by method of 

water distribution. When only the sprinkler system was used, 

the average amount of water applied per acre was 1.40 acre-feet 

as compared to 2.09 acre-feet with the gravity flow system. 

Tables 4 and 5 present more detailed information on the 

different methods of distribution and the quantity of water 

applied per acre by each method. 

Source of Water 

Of the 93.1 million acre-feet of water used for irrigation in 

1979, 43.2 million acre-feet (46.5 percent) was pumped from 

wells, off-farm water suppliers provided 41.0 million acre-feet 

(44.0 percent), and the other 8.8 million acre-feet (9.5 percent) 

came from on-farm surface sources. 

The amount of water applied per acre was lower for farms 

reporting wells as the only source than by farms reporting 

off-farm water suppliers as the only source.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS 

NOTE: In complE:.ting this form, if exact figures are not available, give your best estimate. 

An estimate IS more useful than an omitted answer. 

Item 3 - Land Use and Irrigated Land Uses in 1979 

All acres "In This Place" must be distributed among the land use 

categOfleS in item 3. Each acre "In This Place" should be reported 

only once, In the first category that applies. 

Similarly, for t:ach category of Land Use-, report the acres irrigated In 

1979. In the appropriate category. 

Report all cropland, pastureland. and rangeland watered by artificial 

means at any time during 1979. In addition to fully irrigated land. report 

as irrigated any lands to which supplemental water was applied. This 

may be considered as partial, supplemental, or semi-irrigation. Also 

include any acreage which received only preplant irriga[Jon (watered 

before planting). Haylands, pastureland. or rangeland should be reported 

as imgated if spring flood water is spread by canals. ditches, spreader 

dikes, pipes, or other works. 

Item 5 - Irrigated and Nan-Irrigate-d Crop Yield" 

For each crop harvested, report separately the acres and average yield 

from Irrlgated land and non-irrigated land. 

Report harvested crops as irngated if any water was artificially applied 

either before planting or during the crop growing season in 1979. Report 

the crop as Irrigated if water was applied to supplement rainfall even if 

the amount of water applied was not sufficient to obtain maximum yields. 

hem 7 - Method of Wator Distribution 

This item refers to the method used to spread the water over the land. 

Report the acres of land irrigated by each type of field distribution 

system lrsted. Do not confuse the delivery system used to convey water 

from the source to tt!e fIeld with the field distribution system. 

Itom a - Quontity of Water Used 

Th(~e methods of reportlng estimated quantity of water used have been 

prOVIded on the report form. Use anyone of the methods shown. 

Remember, If actual measurements are un'available. give your best 

estImate. 

Ave-rage acre-f"e-t - This method is often used by operators who 

get water from irrigation districts or other irrigation organizations. 

The acre-feet used may be shown on the water bill. 

Gallons pumped and duration - This method tS often used by 

operators who pump their water from wells. By reporting the 

combined discharge capacity of all the well'pumps and the duration 

of the pumping season we can compute the total quantities of 

water applied. 

Total depth in inche-s - This method is often preferred by operators 

using sprinkler systems. Sum the inches applied in each irrigation 

to a total. If inches applied for each Irrigation are unknown, use 

an average. 

Item 10 - Irrigation Expenditure-" 

Report expenditures made in 1979 for the construction of irrigation 

facilities and purchase of irrigation equipment and machinery on this 

place. Include estimates of expenditures made by or shared with others 

(landlords, government agencies, etc.). Report cost of maintenance and 

repairs In item II. 

Item 11 - Maintenance and Repair Cost 

Report all expenses in 1979 for keeping irrigation equipment and facill' 

tieS in working order. Include expenses for tune-ups, oil changes, and 

repairs to pumps, motors, pipe, canals, sprinkler systems, etc. Also 

include expenses for ditch and canal cleanout. 

Item 12 - Energy Use for Irrigation Pumping 

Report both the expendIture for fuel and power and the amount used 

in 1979 for irrigation pumping on this place. Include in the cost figures 

any additional charges by the power of fuel suppliers such as the "fuel 

adjustment charge" or any other type of additional charge which is based 

on the amount of power or fuel purchased. Again, give best estimates 

if actual flgure$ are not available.
