Abstract
Irrigation is an essential practice for profitable farm production in western Washington State given the typical summer drought. Efficient irrigation system management can result in water and energy savings and increase profitability while minimizing environmental impacts. It also requires understanding the current state of irrigated agriculture and limitations to improving irrigation system efficiency. 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 Lewis County, Washington. 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). This publication is intended for use by farmers, agencies, and elected officials.
