Abstract
Ferry County in northeastern Washington has various natural and socioeconomic challenges and limitations to agriculture and efficient irrigation. The county is also a food desert, with 17.98% of households receiving food assistance in 2019 (WA OFM 2019), underscoring the need and potential for productive agriculture to support local food systems. Data-driven irrigation management can improve irrigation efficiency and profit local agriculture. Seeking to address the existing void in data, WSU WISE (Water and Irrigation Systems Efficiency) is a project funded by a United States Department of Agriculture Conservation Innovation Grant (USDA CIG) to evaluate irrigation system efficiency for five counties across Washington State. This publication is part of a series resulting from WISE and provides an overview of irrigated agriculture in Ferry County. It is intended for producers, agencies (including irrigation districts), and other stakeholders. Most of the data analyses provided are based on data published by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA-NASS) and the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA).
