ACRES HARVESTED IN THE OPEN

1. Did this operation irrigate any crops in the open?

XXXX 1 Yes – Continue 3 No – Go to Section 12

For each crop listed, report the irrigated harvested acres in the first column. For selected crops, report the average yield from the irrigated harvested acres in the second column. Then report the average irrigation water applied per acre in either acre-feet or inches for the acres reported in column one. 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. Report nursery and other horticultural crops grown in the open in item 17.

1020 Condition of crop (observation or experience)


1021 Feel of the soil


1022 Use of soil moisture-sensing devices (moisture blocks, tensiometers, capacitance, other electronic sensors)


1023 Use of plant moisture-sensing devices such as pressure (chamber) bombs or infrared (IR) thermometer


1024 Use of irrigation scheduling service, including commercial and government


1025 Reports on daily crop-water evapo-transpiration (ET) use (Internet, newspapers, radio, TV, fax, or email)


1026 When water was delivered or available by irrigation water supplier (no choice by water user)


1027 Personal calendar schedule


1028 Computer simulation models (not from a commercial service)


1029 When neighbors began to irrigate
