report  is  planned  to  be  a  general,  easy-to-read  publication  for 
the  general  public  on  the  status  and  broad  characteristics  of 
United  States  agriculture.  It  will  seek  to  delineate  such  as- 
pects of  agriculture  as  the  geographic  distribution  and  dif- 
ferences by  size  of  farm  for  such  items  as  farm  acreage, 
principal  crops,  and  important  kinds  of  livestock,  farm  facili- 
ties, farm  equipment,  use  of  fertilizer,  soil  conservation  prac- 
tices, farm  tenure,  and  farm  income. 

Part  8. — Size  of  Operation  by  Type  of  Farm.  This  will  be  a  coop- 
erative special  report  to  be  prepared  in  cooperation  with  the 
Agricultural  Research  Service  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agri- 
culture. This  report  will  contain  data  for  119  economic  sub- 
regions,  (essentially  general  type-of-farming  areas)  showing  the 
general  characteristics  for  each  type  of  farm  by  economic  class. 
It  will  provide  data  for  a  current  analysis  of  the  differences 
that  exist  among  groups  of  farms  of  the  .same  type.  It  wUl 
furnish  statistical  basis  for  a  realistic  examination  of  produc- 
tion of  such  commodities  as  wheat,  cotton,  and  dairy  products 
in  connection  with  actual  or  proposed  governmental  policies 
and  programs.

INTRODUCTION 


History  of  the  Census  of  Irrigation.— Inquiries  relating  to 
irrigation  have  been  included  in  each  decennial  Census  of 
Agriculture  since  1890.  A  special  Census  pertaining  to  ir- 
rigation in  32  States  and  territories  was  taken  in  1902.  The 
1902  Census  included  11  arid  States  and  territories,  6  semiarid 
States  and  territories,  8  humid  States  and  6  rice-growing  States, 
plus  the  Hawaiian  Islands.  Beginning  in  1910,  a  special  Census 
of  Irrigation  has  been  taken  in  the  United  States  for  States  and 
territories  in  which  irrigation  was  most  extensively  practiced. 
The  States  included  in  the  Irrigation  Census  in  1910,  1920,  and 
1930  were  the  17  Western  States  and  Arkansas  and  Louisiana. 
Florida  was  included  in  1940  and  1950.  In  the  mid-decennial 
Censuses  of  Agriculture  in  1935,  1945,  and  1954,  inquiries  were 
included  relating  to  the  acreage  irrigated  in  all  States. 

The  special  survey  of  irrigation  in  1955  for  which  data 
are  presented  in  this  report  covers  the  28  Eastern  States  which 
are  not  included  in  the  regular  decennial  Censuses  of  Irrigation. 

Legal  basis  for  this  special  report.— Authorization  for  the 
1955  Survey  of  Irrigation  in  Humid  Areas  is  covered  by  Act  of 
Congress  (Title  13,  U.  S.  Code)  approved  August  31,  1954, 
which  includes  provisions  for  the  mid-decade  Censuses  of 
Agriculture.  This  report  was  prepared  cooperatively  by  the 
Production  Economics  Research  Branch,  Agricultural  Research 
Service,  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture,  and  the  Bureau 
of  the  Census,  United  States  Department  of  Commerce. 

DEFINITIONS  AND  EXPLANATIONS 

Farms  reporting.— Farms  reporting  represent  the  number  of 
farms  for  which  the  particular  item  was  reported.  For  purposes 
of  tabulation,  the  questionnaires  obtained  in  the  special  survey 
were  divided  into  two  groups.  The  first  group  comprised  all 
farms  for  which  usable  questionnaires  were  obtained  in  the 
special  survey.  These  farms  totaled  14,541  for  the  28  States. 
The  data  given  in  Tables  3,  5,  7,  9,  11,  and  14  relate  to  these 
14,541  farms.  The  second  group  of  farms  comprised  those  for 
which  the  cost  of  the  irrigation  system  was  represented.  These 
farms  totaled  6,414.  The  data  given  in  Tables  4,  6,  8,  10,  12, 
13,  and  15  relate  to  these  farms  only. 

In  the  case  of  196  questionnaires,  the  data  obtained  for  this 
special  survey  cover  more  than  one  Census  farm  as  the  special 
survey  questionnaire  was  filled  out  by  the  landlord  of  a  multiple- 
unit  landholding.  The  number  of  multiple-unit  operators  from 
whom  special  questionnaires  covering  more  than  one  Census 
farm  were  obtained  are  as  follows: 

Connecticut 1 

Missouri 2 

Virginia  9 

North  Carolina 86 

South  Carolina 18 

Georgia  20 

Kentucky 15 

Tennessee 21 

Mississippi 24

Land  irrigated.— Generally,  land  irrigated  represents  land  to 
which  irrigation  water  was  applied.  Data  are  presented  for  three 
categories  of  irrigated  land  as  follows: 

(1)  Largest  acreage  irrigated  in  any  one  year 

(2)  Acreage  irrigated  in  1954 

(3)  Acreage  irrigated  in  1955 


The  data  on  the  largest  acreage  irrigated  in  any  year  were  ob- 
tained by  asking  each  farm  operator  to  list  the  largest  acreage 
irrigated.  The  number  of  acres  irrigated  in  1954  and  1955  were 
obtained  by  adding  the  acreages  for  the  various  crops  reported  as 
irrigated  in  each  of  these  years.  Thus,  the  acreage  irrigated  for 
1954  and  1955  may  be  greater  than  the  total  acreage  of  land  to 
which  water  was  applied,  as  account  was  not  taken  of  the  dupli- 
cate counting  of  acreage  on  which  two  different  crops  were 
harvested  during  the  same  year.  For  example,  if  4  acres  of 
lettuce  were  irrigated  in  1954  and  later  the  same  land  was 
planted  to  string  beans  which  were  irrigated,  the  total  acreage  of 
land  irrigated  for  1954  would  be  8  acres.  This  procedure  re- 
sulted in  some  overstatement  of  the  acreage  of  land  actually  ir- 
rigated. In  comparing  the  acreage  reported  as  irrigated  in  1954 
as  shown  by  the  special  survey  with  the  Census  of  Agriculture, 
this  overstatement  needs  to  be  taken  into  account. 

Questionnaire  used. -A  questionnaire,  designated  Form  A16, 
"Survey  of  Irrigation  in  Humid  Areas  1955,"  was  used.  (A  fac- 
simile of  the  questionnaire  appears  on  page  XLVI.) 

The  number  of  questions  in  the  questionnaire  was  necessarily 
limited  to  key  items  relating  to  irrigation  in  humid  areas.  Ad- 
ditional information  about  variation  in  humid  areas  had  been  re- 
quested by  several  interested  groups,  but  a  pretest  of  a  more 
extensive  questionnaire  in  6  selected  countywide  areas  indicated 
that  satisfactory  data  could  not  be  obtained  by  mail  for  many 
items  relating  to  the  operation  of  irrigation  systems. 

The  enumeration.— The  questionnaires  were  mailed  in  De- 
cember 1955,  to  each  farm  operator  in  the  28  Eastern  States 
who  reported  irrigatedacreagein  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture, 
except  those  who  irrigated  cranberry  bogs  and  a  small  number 
for  whom  complete  addresses  were  not  available.  Generally,  all 
the  data  were  collected  by  mail.  However,  enumerators  obtained 
by  personal  visit  questionnaires  for  those  farm  operators  with 
100  acres  or  more  of  irrigated  land  in  1954  who  did  not  submit 
a  report  by  mail.  Data  in  Table  1  indicated  the  completeness  of 
the  coverage  by  the  special  survey  of  farms  reporting  land  ir- 
rigated in  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture. 

Cost  of  irrigation  systems.— The  questionnaire  for  the  survey 
specified  that  the  cost  of  irrigation  systems  was  to  be  reported 
only  in  case  irrigation  began  in  1946  or  later.  Therefore,  the 
data  given  on  cost  of  irrigation  systems  relate  only  to  farms  on 
which  irrigation  began  in  1946  or  later.  The  total  number  of 
farms  whose  operators  reported  the  year  in  which  irrigation  was 
begun  as  1946  or  later  was  9,494.  However,  only  6,414  of  these 
farms  reported  complete  data  on  irrigation  costs  and  only  these 
farms  were  included  in  the  tabulations  for  farms  whose  opera- 
tors reported  the  cost  of  irrigation  systems.  The  inquiries  re- 
garding cost  of  irrigation  equipment,  cost  of  land  leveling  and 
ditching,  cost  of  construction  of  reservoirs  and  dams  for 
storing  water  and  for  drilling  wells  for  irrigation  purposes,  re- 
late to  the  original  cost  without  allowance  for  depreciation  or 
change  in  price  level. 

Irrigation  facilities.— Farm  irrigation  in  the  humid  areas 
generally  requires  the  use  of  pumps,  some  kind  of  power,  and 
sprinkler  equipment.  However,  a  few  farmers  who  used  gravity 
flow  from  lakes,  streams,  and  artesian  wells,  require  very 
little  equipment.  Also,  users  of  city  water  usually  do  not  re- 
quire pumps  and  power  plants  for  operating  their  sprinkler 
systems.  The  questionnaire  did  not  provide  for  reporting  the 
number  of  storage  facilities,  such  as  dams  and  reservoirs,  for 
irrigation  water.  Also,  no  provision  was  made  for  obtaining  the 
size  of  the  constructed  storage  facilities.  These  constructed 
storage    facilities    vary    greatly    in    size   as   well   as  in  cost.

IRRIGATION  IN  HUMID  AREAS 


Source  of  water. --The  questionnaire  provided  for  indicating 
the  following  sources  of  water  used  for  irrigation: 

Wells 

Natural  streams  or  rivers 

Natural  lakes  or  ponds 

Springs,  seepage,  farm  run-off  (not  streams) 

City,  town,  or  community  water  supply 

Irrigation  or  drainage  district  or  company 

Other 

Some  farm  operators  reported  more  than  one  source  of 
water.  In  making  the  tabulations,  provision  was  made  only 
for  the  tabulation  of  data  for  the  three  most  important  sources 
for  each  farm.  The  questionnaire  did  not  list  constructed 
ponds  or  reservoirs  as  sources  of  water.  However,  many 
farm  operators  indicated  ponds  or  reservoirs  as  sources  on 
the  questionnaire.  Unless  some  other  source  was  indicated, 
constructed  ponds  and  reservoirs  were  classified  as  springs 
in  regard  to  the  source  of  water. 

The  classification  "streams  only"  used  in  the  statistical 
tables  refers  to  natural  streams  and  rivers.  "Lakes  only" 
refers  to  natural  lakes  and  ponds.  The  classification  given 
in  the  statistical  table  for  springs  actually  includes  springs, 
seepage,  and  farm  run-off  (not  streams). 

In  Tables  3  and  4,  farms  reporting  combinations  of  various 
sources  of  water  are  listed  in  the  same  order  that  water  sources 
are  listed  on  the  questionnaire  and  data  for  farms  whose  op- 
erators reported  several  sources  are  included  only  once  in 
the  totals.  For  example,  farms  whose  operators  reported 
wells  and  streams  as  the  source  of  water  are  included  in 
the  grouping  of  wells,  and  designated  wells  and  streams. 
Data   for   these   farms   are  not  included  again  under  streams. 

Generally,  most  farms  obtained  irrigation  water  from  a 
single  source  and  the  significant  data  in  most  of  the  tables 
may  be  analyzed  by  examining  the  figures  for  the  important 
sources  of  water  without  considering  the  data  for  the  several 
groups   of  farms  obtaining  water  from  more  than  one  source. 

Source  of  power.— The  questionnaire  provided  for  reporting 
three  sources  of  prawer  as  follows: 

Tractor 

Electric  motor 

Other  motors  or  engines 

"Other  motors  or  engines"  includes  internal  combustion 
engines  of  all  types  except  tractors. 

Method  of  applying  water.— Six  methods  of  applying  water 
were  listed  on  the  questionnaire  as  follows: 

Portable  pipe  and  sprinkler 
Fixed  overhead  irrigation 
Portable  gated  pipe 
Ditches  and  furrows 
Flooding 
Other 

More  than  one  method  of  applying  water  was  reported  by 
many  farmers.  The  tabulation  procedure  provided  for  the  sum- 
marizing of  data  for  two  methods  of  applying  water  for  each 
farm.  When  more  than  two  methods  were  reported  for  a  farm, 
the  data  were  summarized  for  the  two  most  important  methods 
only. 

Other  methods  include  applying  water  with  tank  trucks, 
garden  or  other  type  of  hose,  underground  pipe,  and  pumping 
water  by  a  contractor. 

Year  irrigation  began.— The  question  on  this  item  was  intended 
to  obtain  the  year  irrigation  began  on  the  farm  and  not  by  the 
1955  operator  of  the  farm.  A  farm  may  have  been  operated 
by  several  persons  since  irrigation  began. 


Legality  of  water  use.  — In  general,  answers  to  the  question 
on  legality  of  rights  to  the  water  used  for  irrigation  were 
not  restricted  to  cases  of  actual  legal  action.  They  also  in- 
cluded oral  threats  of  legal  action. 

In  a  number  of  cases,  users  of  city  water  reported  that  le- 
gality of  their  use  of  water  had  been  challenged.  This  usually 
meant  that  restrictions  were  placed  only  on  the  day  or  time 
of  watering  or  the  amount  of  water  used.  These  cases  were 
not  considered  as  challenges  to  the  right  to  use  water. 

PRESENTATION  OF  STATISTICS 

Organization  of  tables.— Data  obtained  in  the  1955  Survey  of 
Irrigation  in  Humid  Areas  are  presented  in  8  summary  tables 
and  in  16  tables  giving  data  for  individual  States.  Both  summary 
and  State  tables  that  give  data  by  States  contain  data  for  farms 
reporting,  acres  irrigated,  and  specified  irrigation  facilities, 
classified  according  to  such  items  as  source  of  water,  source 
of  power,  and  cost  of  irrigation  systems. 

The  data  in  Summary  Tables  I  to  VIII  relate  only  to  the  6,414 
farms  for  which  the  cost  of  the  irrigation  system  was  com- 
pletely reported. 

Extent  of  irrigation  according  to  1955  survey.  — A  total  of 
14,541  usable  questionnaires  was  received  in  the  1955  special 
survey.  For  1954,  the  survey  reported  545,671  acres  as  irri- 
gated. This  acreage  exceeded  that  for  1955  by  12  percent. 
The  largest  acreage  irrigated  in  any  year  was  646,247  acres, 
or  18  percent  more  than  the  1954  irrigated  acreage.  This 
largest  acreage  probably  represents  the  minimum  potential  area 
that  could  be  irrigated  in  any  one  year  by  the  farms  reporting 
irrigation  in  1954. 

The  1955  survey  as  compared  with  the  1954  Census  of  Ag- 
riculture.—A  comparison  of  farms  reporting  and  number  of 
acres  irrigated  as  shown  by  the  1955  Survey  of  Irrigation  and 
the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture,  is  presented  in  Table  1.  The 
information  on  acreage  obtained  from  the  1955  survey  equaled 
93  percent  of  the  total  acreage  reported  by  the  1954  Census 
of  Agriculture.  For  individual  States,  the  acreage  of  irrigated 
land  reported  by  the  survey  as  compared  with  the  1954  Census 
ranged  from  39  percent  for  Maine  to  more  than  110  percent 
for  Indiana.  The  method  of  obtaining  the  number  of  acres 
irrigated  for  the  special  survey  by  adding  the  number  of  acres 
of  crops  and  pasture  irrigated  resulted  in  some  overstatement 
of  the  actual  area  irrigated  because  of  the  counting  more  than 
once  of  the  acreage  on  which  more  than  one  irrigated  crop 
was  harvested  in  1954. 

In  using  the  1955  survey  data,  two  significant  qualifications 
of  the  data  need  to  be  considered.  First,  the  acreage  irrigated 
in  the  humid  area  varies  appreciably  from  year  to  year  because 
of  variation  in  rainfall  and,  second,  the  acreage  irrigated  has 
increased  rapidly  during  recent  years.  These  two  facts  make 
the  data  from  the  1955  survey  less  representative  of  the  current 
situation  than  would  otherwise  be  the  case. 

Precipitation  in  1954-1955.— Data  on  precipitation  by  months 
during  the  growing  seasons  of  1954  and  1955  are  presented 
in  Table  2  and  a  series  of  maps  on  pages  XLIL  to  JILYL.  Although 
these  data  do  not  fully  indicate  the  need  for  moisture  by  crops 
as  the  data  relate  to  entire  States  and  to  specific  months,  they 
do  indicate  roughly  the  relative  need  for  irrigation  in  1954 
and  1955.  In  the  summer  growing  months  in  the  humid  States, 
rainfall  is  quite  variable.  Crops  and  pastures  frequently 
suffer  from  lack  of  rainfall  during  crucial  growing  periods. 
The  data  presented  inTable  2  and  the  accompanying  maps  show 
the  variation  of  rainfall  from  normal  for  1954  and  1955.  In 
general,  precipitation  during  the  1954  growing  season  was  much 
less  than  during  the  corresponding  period  of  1955.  June  of  1954 
was  especially  dry;  rainfall  was  50  percent  below  normal  in 
9  of  the  31  States  as  shown  on  the  precipitation  maps.  During 
July  1954,  generally  improved  rainfall  conditions  prevailed,  but 
in  August  and  September  of  1954,  rainfall  was  below  normal 
throughout  much  of  the  humid  area. 


INTRODUCTION 


IX 


In  1955,  rainfall  in  the  New  England  States,  except  in  Con- 
necticut, was  less  adequate  than  during  the  preceding  year. 
As  a  result,  the  1955  irrigated  acreage  exceeded  the  acreage 
irrigated  in  1954  except  in  Rhode  Island. 

Farms  and  acreage  irrigated.— In  the  28  Eastern  States, 
most  farmers  irrigated  relatively  small  acreages.  Thirty- 
eight  percent  irrigated  less  than  10  acres  per  farm,  and  a  little 
more  than  18  percent  irrigated  from  10  to  19  acres.  One-third 
of  all  farmers  reporting  irrigated  between  20  to  99  acres. 
Relatively  few  farmers  reported  100  or  more  acres  irrigated. 
However,  more  than  80  percent  of  the  total  irrigated  acreage 
was  on  farms  reporting  30  or  more  acres  irrigated. 

Some  indication  of  the  total  acreage  that  farmers  are  equipped 
to  irrigate  is  shown  by  the  largest  acreage  irrigated  in  any 
one  year.  The  total  of  the  largest  acreage  irrigated  on  each 
farm  for  any  year  since  irrigation  was  undertaken  was  646,247 
acres  for  the  28  States.  This  total  exceeds  the  acreage  irrigated 
in  1954  by  18  percent  and  the  1955  irrigated  acreage  by  33 
percent.  An  appreciable  expansion  of  irrigated  acreage  could 
take    place    in   the  humid   area   on   the   farms  now  irrigating. 

In  appraising  changes  in  irrigation  in  humid  areas,  allowance 
must  be  made  for  yearly  variations.  Irrigation  in  humid  areas, 
unlike  that  in  arid  regions,  can  be  expected  to  vary  consider- 
ably  from   year   to   year   as  a  result  of  variations  in  rainfall. 

The  acreage  irrigated  in  each  State  ranged  from  less  than 
1,000  acres  to  more  than  150,000  acres.  The  three  leading 
States  were  Mississippi,  with  151,772  acres,  followed  by  New 
York    and    New    Jersey,    each  with   more   than   60,000  acres. 

Year  farmers  began  irrigation.— The  data  indicate  a  rapid 
rate  of  adoption  of  irrigation  farming  during  recent  years. 
More  farmers  reported  beginning  irrigation  in  1954  than  in  any 
other  year  during  the  period  1946-1955.  For  the  28  States, 
29  percent  of  the  14,541  farms  reporting  indicated  that  irriga- 
tion was  started  in  1954.  Of  the  546,000  acres  irrigated  in 
the  28  States  during  1954,  approximately  134,000  acres  were 
in  farms  on  which  irrigation  was  started  during  1954.  North 
Carolina,  with  789  farms,  had  a  larger  number  of  farms 
reporting  that  irrigation  began  in  1954  than  any  other  of  the 
28  States. 

Data  given  in  State  tables  under  column  headings  1955  or 
later  as  the  date  of  beginning  irrigation  do  not  indicate  the 
extent  of  new  irrigation  in  1955.  The  data  are  only  for  those 
farms  whose  operators  reported  irrigation  in  1954  and  no 
information  was  obtained  for  farms  whose  operators  started 
irrigation  in  1955  or  for  farms  whose  operators  did  not  report 
irrigation  in  1954.  The  small  amount  of  irrigation  shown  for 
farms  starting  irrigation  in  1955  or  later  is  the  result  of  a 
few  reports  that  were  received  from  farm  operators  who 
obtained  questionnaires  from  neighbors  or  for  whom  reports 
were  obtained  by  enumerators. 

Source  of  water.  — Water  for  more  than  40  percent  of  all 
farms  reporting  and  approximately  37  percent  of  the  irrigated 
acreage  in  1954  was  obtained  directly  from  streams  (natural 
streams  or  rivers).  Wells  were  the  second  most  important 
source  of  irrigation  water;  they  were  reported  by  19  percent 
of  the  farms.  Springs,  seepage,  and  surface  run-off  (not 
streams)  were  reported  by  18  percent.  Farms  using  wells 
accounted  for  nearly  24  percent  of  the  irrigated  acreage 
for  1954.  Farms  using  spring,  seepage,  and  farm  run-off 
(not  streams)  accounted  for  less  than  9  percent  of  the  1954 
irrigated  acreage.  Farms  whose  operators  reported  com- 
binations of  various  sources  of  water  represented  only  13 
percent  of  all  farms,  but  reported  a  little  more  than  25  per- 
cent of  the  acreage  irrigated  in  1954. 


About  90  percent  of  the  farms  whose  operators  reported 
the  source  of  water  as  springs,  seepage,  and  farm  run-off 
had  reservoirs  for  water  storage.  Farmers  who  used  other 
sources  of  irrigation  water  reported  reservoirs  or  dams 
infrequently. 

Farms  for  which  streams  were  reported  as  sources  of  water 
were  widely  distributed  throughout  all  of  the  28  States.  Very 
few  farmers  reported  that  wells  were  used  for  irrigation  in 
the  New  England  States.  The  number  of  farmers  reporting 
wells  outnumbered  those  reporting  streams  (natural  streams 
or  rivers)  as  a  source  in  1954  in  New  York,  Iowa,  New  Jersey, 
Indiana,  Illinois,  and  Minnesota.  The  use  of  city  or  municipal 
sources  of  irrigation  water  was  concentrated  around  large 
centers  of  population  in  New  York,  New  Jersey,  Massachusetts, 
and  Ohio.  These  four  States  accounted  for  nearly  64  percent 
of  the  farmers  reporting  city,  town,  or  community  water  supply 
as  the  source  of  irrigation  water. 

Constructed  reservoirs  for  storing  irrigation  water.— Forty- 
two  percent  of  all  farms  reported  reservoirs  and  dams  used 
for  storing  water.  It  is  likely  that  as  more  and  more  farmers 
use  irrigation,  streams  and  similar  sources  will  become  more 
fully  utilized.  As  a  result,  farmers  will  undoubtedly  rely  to 
an  increasing  extent  on  the  use  of  their  own  constructed  storage 
facilities. 

Operators  of  about  a  third  of  the  farms  with  small,  and  ap- 
proximately one- half  of  the  farms  with  large  irrigation  enter- 
prises reported  water- storage  facilities.  In  general,  size  of 
irrigation  enterprise,  except  for  extremely  small  and  large 
units,  had  little  effect  on  whether  water- storage  facilities 
had  been  constructed. 

Source  of  power  for  pumping.— Most  farmers  in  the  humid 
area  reported  "other  motors  or  engines"  (internal  combustion 
engines  of  all  types  except  tractors)  as  the  source  of  power 
for  pumping  irrigation  water.  Sixty-four  percent  of  all  farmers 
listed  "other  motors  or  engines"  as  the  source  of  power. 
By  States,  the  proportion  reporting  this  source  of  power 
ranged  from  34  percent  of  all  farmers  in  Mississippi  to  92 
percent  in  Delaware. 

Electric  motors  and  tractors  were  of  about  equal  importance 
as  sources  of  power  for  pumping.  These  two  sources,  however, 
were  of  relatively  minor  importance  in  terms  of  farms  reporting. 
Only  12  percent  of  the  farmers  reported  using  electric  motors 
as  the  source  of  power;  and  11  percent  reported  tractors. 
Combinations  of  tractors,  electric  motors,  and  other  motors 
or  engines  as  a  source  of  power  were  used  on  7  percent  of 
the  farms. 

Method  of  applying  water.— Sprinklers  (including  portable 
pipe)  represented  the  chief  method  of  applying  irrigation  water 
in  the  humid  area.  Over  78  percent  of  the  14,541  farms 
for  which  irrigation  was  reported  indicated  that  this  method 
was  used  for  applying  water. 

Sprinklers  are  well  adapted  to  irrigation  in  humid  areas. 
They  can  be  used  without  extensive  land  leveling  or  ditch  sys- 
tems. Portable  sprinklers  can  be  easily  moved  from  one 
field  to  another  as  needed  in  different  years  or  at  different 
times  during  the  growing  season. 

Other  methods  for  applying  water,  less  frequently  used 
than  sprinklers,  included  fixed  overhead  pipe,  ditches,  flooding, 
and  portable  gated  pipe. 

In  some  States,  methods  other  than  sprinklers  were  more 
commonly  used.  In  Mississippi,  where  rice  is  the  most 
important  irrigated  crop,  ditches  and  flooding  were  used 
extensively.  In  this  State,  ditches  and  flooding,  including 
combinations  with  other  methods,  were  repxjrted  on  47  percent 


X 


IRRIGATION  IN  HUMID  AREAS 


of  the  909  farms  for  which  irrigation  was  reported.  Fixed 
overhead  pipe  was  another  method  used  in  localized  areas. 
This  method  of  application  was  used  primarily  for  nursery 
and  flower  crops. 

Pumps  used  for  irrigation.— Operators  of  a  total  of  13,662 
farms,  or  94  percent  of  all  farms,  reported  the  use  of  pumps 
in  1955.  The  widespread  use  of  pumps  indicates  that  only 
a  small  number  of  operators  of  irrigated  farms  rely  on  gravity 
flow,  artesian  wells,  or  city  water  supply.  A  total  of  17,588 
pumps  was  reported  for  the  13,662  farms  in  the  humid  area.  For 
29  percent  of  the  farms,  more  than  one  pump  was  reported  per 
farm. 

In  some  instances,  farmers  who  reported  use  of  sprinkler 
irrigation  systems  required  no  pumps  as  their  irrigation  was 
done  on  a  rental  or  contractual  basis.  No  data  are  available, 
however,  as  to  the  extent  of  this  practice. 

Cost  of  irrigation  systems.— The  data  on  the  cost  of  the  ir- 
rigation systems  were  compiled  for  farms  on  which  irrigation 
began  in  1946  or  later  (see  definitions  and  explanations). 
Average  cost  per  farm  was  determined  by  dividing  the  total 
cost  of  irrigation  systems  by  the  number  of  farms  reporting. 

The  average  cost  per  acre  given  in  the  tables  presenting  data 
by  States  was  computed  by  dividing  the  total  cost  of  irrigation 
systems  by  the  acreage  irrigated  in  1954.  The  1954  acreage 
irrigated  was  used  as  the  best  available  measure  for  computing 
per-acre  costs,  as  the  acreage  irrigated  in  1955  was  smaller 
than  the  1954  acreage  because  ofheavier  rainfall  and  the  "largest 
acreage  irrigated  in  any  year"  did  not  always  relate  to  the  equip- 
ment in  use  at  the  time  of  the  survey.  Although  this  procedure 
provides  a  comparison  of  various  groups  of  farms,  it  does  not 
furnish  typical  per-acre  costs  for  individual  farms.  For  ex- 
ample, the  cost  of  leveling  and  ditching  is  shown  in  the  tables 
as  $3.36  per  acre  for  the  28  States.  Actually,  the  leveling  and 
ditching  costs  for  the  693  farms  whose  operators  reported 
leveling  and  ditching  would  be  many  times  this  amount. 

The  total  cost  reported  for  irrigation  systems  in  the  28  States 
for  (1)  irrigation  equipment,  (2)  leveling  and  ditching,  and  (3) 
constructing  reservoirs  and  drilling  wells  was  $35.5  million. 
The  major  cost  item  in  the  irrigation  systems  was  the  cost  of 
irrigation  equipment,  which  totaled  $27.5  million  and  represented 
78  percent  of  the  total  cost  of  irrigation  systems.  The  cost  of 
constructing  reservoirs  and  drilling  wells,  which  was  reported 
for  61  percent  of  the  farms,  was  second  in  importance  and  totaled 
$7.2  million.  It  represented  20  percent  of  the  total  cost  of  ir- 
rigation systems.  Costs  of  leveling  and  ditching  were  reported 
by  only  11  percent  of  farms  whose  operators  reported  costs. 
On  many  of  the  farms,  the  rolling  terrain  and  shallow  surface 
soils  preclude  land  leveling  and  use  of  ditches  unless  the  ditches 
are  on  the  contour.  The  total  of  $0.8  million  reported  as  the 
cost  of  leveling  and  ditching  was  only  2  percent  of  the  total 
cost  of  irrigation  systems  in  the  28  States. 

The  cost  of  irrigation  systems  averaged  $5,542  per  farm  and 
$145  per  acre.  The  per  farm  cost  of  irrigation  equipment 
alone  was  $4,305.  Constructing  reservoirs  and  drilling  wells 
cost  an  average  of  $1,859  per  farm.  Leveling  and  ditching  costs 
averaged   $1,193   per   farm  for  the  farms  reporting  this  cost. 

The  classification  of  farms  by  total  cost  per  farm  shows  a 
wide  range  in  total  cost  per  farm.  Almost  two-thirds  of  the 
6,414  farms  reporting  costs  show  a  total  cost  of  less  than 
$5,000  per  farm.  A  total  cost  of  $50,000  or  more  was  re- 
ported for  a  few  farms. 

Cost  by  acreage  irrigated.— The  tabulation  of  data  for  farms 
classified  by  the  largest  acreage  irrigated  shows  that  total  cost 
of  the  irrigation  system  per  farm  increases  as  the  irrigated 
acreage  increases.  Operators  of  farms  with  irrigated  areas 
ranging  in  size  from  1  to  9  acres  reported  an  average  cost  of 
$1,960  per  farm.  On  the  other  hand,  the  average  cost  per  farm 
was    $18,133    for    farms    in   the   200   to   499  acre  size  group. 


Ninety  percent  of  the  farmers  who  irrigated  1  to  9  acres  re- 
ported a  total  cost  of  irrigation  systems  of  less  than  $4,000  per 
farm.  Seventy-six  percent  of  the  farmers  with  20  to  29  acres 
irrigated  had  costs  per  farm  of  $1,000  tD$5, 999.  Approximately 
50  percent  of  those  with  100  to  199  acres  irrigated  had  a  total 
cost  of  $10,000  and  over,  while  70  percent  of  those  with  200  or 
more  acres  had  a  total  cost  of  $10,000  and  over. 

In  general,  farms  with  the  larger  irrigation  systems  had  lower 
per  acre  costs  regardless  of  source  of  water  or  method  of  ap- 
plying water.  Costs  for  farmers  who  used  streams  as  a  source 
were  lower  and  varied  less  by  size  of  irrigated  acreage,  largely 
because  the  lower  cost  of  developing  this  water  source. 

Most  farmers  reporting  springs  required  the  use  of  a  dam  or 
reservoir  and  had  costs  somewhat  similar  to  farms  reporting 
wells.  For  farms  with  sprinklers  and  streams  or  lakes  as  a 
source  of  water,  the  average  cost  per  largest  acreage  irrigated 
was  $116.  Cost  ranged  from  $48  per  acre  for  farms  irrigating 
500  to  999  acres  to  $415  for  farms  irrigating  less  than  10  acres. 

Although  44  percent  of  the  irrigated  farms  had  less  than  20 
acres  under  irrigation,  only  20  percent  of  the  total  cost  of  the 
irrigation  systems  was  reported  by  these  farms. 

Costs  of  leveling  and  ditching  were  more  significant  on  farms 
irrigating  large  acreages  than  on  those  with  small  acreages. 
Operators  of  farms  with  500  to  999  acres  irrigated  reported  that 
27   percent   of   the    total   costs   went  for  leveling  and  ditching. 

The  average  per  acre  cost  of  irrigation  systems  for  farms  with 
1  to  9  acres  irrigated  was  $482.  The  cost  per  acre  for  farms 
with  more  than  1,000  acres  irrigated  per  farm  was  $56  per  acre. 
Costs  were  approximately  the  same  per  acre  for  farms  with 
200  to  499  acres  irrigated  as  for  farms  with  500  to  999  acres 
irrigated.  Costs  per  acre  of  irrigation  for  the  200  to  499  acre 
group  was  $81  and  costs  per  acre  for  the  500  to  999  acre  group 
was  almost  the  same.  The  difference  in  cost  per  acre  for  farms 
with  1  to  9  acres  irrigated  and  farms  with  10  to  19  acres  irrigated 
was  $160.  As  the  irrigated  acreage  per  farm  increased  the 
cost  per  acre  decreased.  For  example,  the  cost  per  acre  for 
farms  of  10  to  19  acres  irrigated  was  $322  as  compared  with 
$237  for  farms  with  20  to  29  acres. 

Cost   by    source   of  water.— The   average   cost  of  irrigation 


wells  was 
farm  cost 
Farmers 
per  farm; 
those  with 
farm  was 
municipal 


systems  per  farm  for  operators  who  irrigated  from 
approximately  $8,000.  This  was  a  higher  average  per 
than  for  farms  obtaining  water  from  any  other  source, 
who  reported  springs  had  an  average  cost  of  $5,031 
those  with  streams,  a  cost  of  $4,679  per  farm;  and 
lakes,  a  cost  of  $3,933  per  farm.  The  lowest  cost  per 
$1,544  for  farms  with  small  acreages  irrigated  from 
water  supplies. 

Nearly  all  the  costs  of  irrigation  systems  for  farms  using 
natural  lakes  and  city  water  supply  as  water  sources  were  ac- 
counted for  by  the  cost  of  irrigation  equipment.  For  farms  with 
other  sources— streams,  wells,  and  springs  or  surface  run-off, 
three- fourths  of  the  total  cost  was  made  up  by  the  cost  of  ir- 
rigation equipment  and  one-fourth  by  the  cost  of  reservoirs 
and  wells. 

The  recent  rapid  expansion  of  irrigation  in  the  humid  areas  in 
most  instances  utilized  readily  accessible  supplies  of  water. 
More  than  half  of  all  farmers  reporting  costs  relied  on  streams 
and  lakes  as  sources  of  water.  Farmers  reporting  the  larger 
total  costs  for  irrigation  systems,  particularly  those  with 
$15,000  and  over,  depended  less  on  streams  and  lakes  than 
farmers  having  a  total  cost  of  less  than  $15,000. 

A  larger  percentage  of  the  large  irrigation  enterprises  use 
wells  as  a  source  of  water  than  do  the  smaller  farms.  Al- 
though only  10  percent  of  the  operators  of  all  farms  reported 
wells;  25  percent  of  all  those  with  a  cost  of  more  than  $15,000 
for  the  irrigation  system  reported  wells  as  the  source  of  water. 


INTRODUCTION 


XI 


Total  costs  of  irrigation  systems  per  acre  according  to  dif- 
ferent sources  of  irrigation  water  varied  only  between  $129  to 
$138  except  when  springs,  seepage,  or  surface  run-off  were  used. 
Since  water  storage  reservoirs  are  required  to  collect  spring 
and  run-off  water,  average  per  acre  costs  of  $249  were  higher 
for  farms  with  this  source  of  water. 

Cost  by  use  of  storage  facilities.— Operators  of  about  50  per- 
cent of  all  farms  reported  the  use  of  constructed  irrigation 
storage.  Seventy-six  percent  of  those  reporting  costs  of  irri- 
gation systems  under  $1,000  had  no  constructed  storage.  Opera- 
tors of  62  percent  of  farms  with  a  total  cost  of  irrigation  systems 
of  $1,000  to  $1,999  reported  no  constructed  storage,  while  55 
percent  of  those  with  a  total  cost  of  $2,000  to  $2,999  reported 
no  constructed  storage. 

A  larger  percentage  of  the  operators  of  farms  with  a  cost  of 
irrigation  systems  of  more  than  $3,000,  reported  constructed 
storage  facilities  than  farms  with  a  smaller  cost.  Fifty  per- 
cent of  the  farms  with  costs  of  $3,000  to  $3,999  had  constructed 
storage.  Constructed  storage  was  reported  for  73  percent  of  the 
farms    with    irrigation    system    costs    of    $50,000   and   over. 

Operators  of  farms  in  the  28  States  for  which  constructed 
storage  facilities  were  reported  indicated  an  average  per  acre 
cost  of  irrigation  systems  of$184  as  compared  with  $109  per  acre 
for  farms  with  no  constructed  storage. 

Cost  by  source  of  power.  —The  total  cost  of  irrigation  systems 
on  farms  using  motors  and  engines  (internal  combustion  engines 
other  than  tractors)  as  the  source  of  power  was  $25.7  million 
out  of  a  total  cost  of  $35.5  million  for  all  farms.  The  cost  per 
farm  for  those  depending  on  motors  or  engines  other  than 
electric  motors  was  $5,500. 

The  cost  of  irrigation  systems  for  farms  using  tractor  to 
power  irrigation  pumps  averaged  $3,640  per  farm,  or  34  per- 
cent less  than  the  average  for  farms  repxirting  other  motors 
or  engines  as  the  source  of  power.  This  lower  cost  per  farm 
was  due  in  large  part  to  the  exclusion  of  all  tractor  costs  from 
the  costs  of  the  irrigation  equipment  except  when  the  tractors 
were  used  only  for  pumping  irrigation  water.  No  attempt  was 
made  to  obtain  and  to  include  the  costs  of  general  farm  tractors 
in  the  cost  of  irrigation  equipment.  For  farms  using  electricity 
as  the  source  of  power,  the  total  cost  of  irrigation  equipment  per 
farm  was  slightly  less  than  farms  for  which  other  motors  or 
engines  were  reported. 

Of  farms  for  which  other  motors  or  engines  as  a  source  of 
power  were  indicated,  52  percent  had  costs  of  irrigation  systems 
of  less  than  $4,000.  Fifty-seven  percent  of  the  farms  using 
electricity  as  the  source  of  jxjwer  reported  the  cost  of  the  ir- 
rigation systems  as  less  than  $4,000.  Of  the  farms  with 
tractors  as  a  source  of  power,  64  percent  reported  the  irrigation 
system  cost  as  less  than  $4,000. 

Cost  of  irrigation  systems  per  acre  was  $102  for  farms  using 
electric  motors  and  $161  per  acre  for  farms  using  other  motors 
or  engines.  The  differences  in  costs  per  acre  between  farms 
using  electricity  and  farms  with  other  motors  or  engines  appears 
to  be  related  more  to  the  number  of  acres  irrigated  than  to  the 
source  of  power. 

Cost  by  method  of  applying  water.— Costs  per  acre  of  irrigated 
land  for  the  different  methods  of  applying  water  ranged  from 
$38  for  flooding  in  combination  with  other  methods  to  $577 
for  fixed  overhead  pipe.  These  per- acre  costs  varied  not  only 
because  of  method  of  applying  irrigation  water,  but  also  because 
of  the  source  of  water,  acreage  irrigated,  etc. 

The  average  cost  for  farms  with  sprinklers  was  $166  per  acre. 
Farms  with  combinations  of  sprinklers  with  other  methods 
had  a  range  in  costs  from  $67  per  acre  for  those  using  sprinklers 
and  ditches  to  $289  for  those  with  sprinklers  and  overhead  pipe. 
The  average  cost  for  farms  with  sprinkler  systems  was  $52o  per 


acre   in   Maine   (average  size  of  enterprise  was  only  about  10 
acres)  and  $89  in  Missouri. 

Of  the  operators  of  132  farms  who  reported  ditches  as  the 
method  of  applying  water,  fifty-seven  percent  rejxjrted  total 
costs  under  $1,000.  Another  20  percent  had  costs  of  $1,000  to 
$1,999.  Thirty-four  percent  of  the  101  farms  for  which  flooding 
in  combination  with  other  methods  was  reported  has  costs  under 
$1,000  per  farm  for  the  irrigation  systems.  Fifteen  percent 
reported  a  cost  of  irrigation  system  of  $1,000  to  $1,999  per 
farm. 

On  the  farms  with  sprinklers,  nearly  80  percent  of  the  total 
cost  was  represented  by  cost  of  equipment,  about  20  percent  by 
the  cost  of  storage  facilities  and  drilling  of  wells,  and  less  than 
1  percent  by  the  cost  of  land  leveling  or  ditching.  For  farms  re- 
porting a  fixed  overhead  pipe  system,  the  cost  of  equipment 
amounted  to  nearly  84  percent  of  the  total  cost.  For  farms  with 
ditch  irrigation  systems,  nearly  50  percent  of  the  total  cost  was 
represented  by  the  cost  of  irrigation  equipment,  35  percent  by 
storage  facilities  and  drilling  of  wells,  and  15  percent  by  leveling 
and  ditching. 

Crops  irrigated.— For  the  28  Eastern  States,  543,647  acres  of 
crops  and  pasture  were  reported  as  irrigated  in  1954.  Of  this 
total  acreage,  approximately  three-fifths  was  used  for  six  crops: 
Rice,  Irish  potatoes,  pasture,  corn,  cotton,  and  tobacco.  The 
12  major  crops  on  the  basis  of  acreage  irrigated  comprise  80 
percent  of  the  total  irrigated  acreage  for  the  28  Eastern  States. 
In  addition  to  the  6  crops  listed  above,  these  included  hay,  "other 
vegetables,"  (vegetables  other  than  tomatoes,  snap  beans,  and 
sweet  corn),  nursery  and  flower  crops,  tomatoes,  snapbeans,  and 
sweet  corn. 

The  distribution  of  irrigated  acreage  by  crops  in  1955  cor- 
responds closely  to  that  in  1954.  In  1955,  the  six  major  crops 
equaled  56  percent  of  all  land  irrigated,  and  the  12  most  im- 
portant crops  represented,  75  percent. 

More  acres  of  rice  than  of  any  other  crop  were  irrigated  in 
1954.  Most  of  this  rice  was  produced  in  Mississippi.  Missouri 
ranked  second  in  the  acreage  of  rice  irrigated,  but  it  had  less 
than  9  percent  of  the  total  irrigated  acreage  for  the  28  States. 

Almost  two- fifths  of  the  irrigated  acreage  of  Irish  potatoes 
in  1954  was  in  New  York.  Ten  other  States— New  Jersey, 
Wisconsin,  Michigan,  Ohio,  Minnesota,  Pennsylvania,  Delaware, 
Indiana,  Connecticut,  and  Virginia— each  reported  more  than 
1,000  acres  of  Irish  potatoes  irrigated  and  the  11  States  ac- 
counted for  95  percent  of  the  irrigated  potato  acreage. 

The  largest  acreage  of  irrigated  pasture,  8,373  acres,  was 
reported  for  Mississippi.  Thirteen  States,  10  Southern  and 
three  Northern,  had  92  percent  of  the  irrigated  pasture  in  the 
28  States. 

Irrigated  corn  was  not  concentrated  in  any  particular  State. 
Missouri,  with  7,339  acres  irrigated,  reported  the  largest 
acreage.  Thirteen  States  reported  1,000  acres  or  more  of  ir- 
rigated corn. 

Eighty- seven  percent  of  the  irrigated  cotton  acreage  was 
reported  for  Mississippi. 

Approximately  one-third  of  the  irrigated  tobacco  acreage 
was  in  North  Carolina.  Eight  States— North  Carolina,  Con- 
necticut, Kentucky,  Georgia,  Massachusetts,  Tennessee,  Vir- 
ginia, and  South  Carolina  had  98  percent  of  the  irrigated  tobacco 
acreage  for  the  28  States. 

New  Jersey  with  5,159  acres  had  the  largest  irrigated  acreage 
of  tomatoes. 

T^e  acreage  used  for  cranberry  production,  all  considered 
as  irrigated  land,  was  not  included  in  the  survey  of  irrigation 
in  humid  areas.  For  the  28  States  included,  the  1954  Census 
of  Agriculture   reported   that    1,134   farmers  harvested  cran- 


XII 


IRRIGATION  IN  HUMID  AREAS 


berries   from   22,598   acres   of  land, 
were  as  follows:

New  York  3  101 

New  Jersey 146  5,727 

Wisconsin 150  3.798 

Minnesota 5  35 

The  number  of  farms  reporting  and  the  acreage  of  cran- 
berries harvested  in  1955  was  probably  about  the  same  as  in 
1954. 

Number  of  times  crops  were  irrigated.— Operators  of  ap- 
proximately one-fourth  of  the  farms  reported  irrigating  two 
times;  a  fourth  reported  irrigating  five  or  more  times;  20 
percent  of  the  farms  reported  irrigating  three  times;  18  per- 
cent  irrigated  one  time;  and  12  percent  irrigated  four  times. 

Not  only  the  frequency  and  amount  of  rainfall,  but  also  the 
length  of  growing  season,  soil  type,  and  root  system  of  crops 
irrigated  influenced  significantly  the  number  of  times  water  was 
applied. 


Cotton  and  corn  were  irrigated  fewer  times  in  1955  than 
hay,  tobacco,  pasture,  Irish  potatoes,  nursery  and  flower 
crops.  On  nearly  80  percent  of  the  farms  cotton  and  corn  were 
irrigated  only  one  or  two  times  during  1955. 

Legality  of  water  rights.— While  a  challenge  regarding  the 
legality  of  water  rights  was  reported  by  only  2  percent  of  the 
operators  of  14,541  farms  in  the  1955  survey,  this  aspect  of 
irrigation  may  be  much  more  significant  than  is  indicated  by  the 
small  number  of  farms  reporting.  Some  of  the  reports  on  the 
challenge  of  the  legality  of  the  right  to  use  water,  may  have  in- 
volved legal  action,  although  no  information  is  available  re- 
garding the  exact  number  of  such  cases.  The  reports  on  water 
rights  were  not  restricted  to  cases  where  legal  action  had  been 
taken  but  included  oral  and  other  threats  of  legal  action  as 
well.  Farmers  who  used  streams  for  water  reported  most  of 
the  cases  involving  a  question  of  legal  rights.  Laws  are  more 
restrictive  with  respect  to  the  use  of  streams  than  other  sources 
of  water  supply  in  most  of  the  28  States.  Forty-four  percent 
of  those  reporting  a  challenge  of  the  legality  of  water  rights  re- 
ported the  source  of  water  as  "streams  only." 

More  than  one-fourth  of  the  farmers  who  reported  a  challenge 
of  the  legality  of  water  rights  were  operators  of  farms  on  which 
irrigation  began  in  1954  or  later.  On  approximately  one-fourth 
of  the  farms  reporting  a  challenge  of  legality  of  water  rights, 
irrigation  was  begun  during  the  period  1951-1953.  Almost 
three- fifths  of  those  reporting  the  legality  of  water  rights 
questioned,  reported  the  use  of  constructed  reservoirs.
