Abstract
Irrigated agriculture in Washington State has been adversely impacted by insufficient water and drought conditions. Competition over water resources from different sectors and water use curtailments have left fields underirrigated. Thus, there is an urgent need to improve 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) which evaluates 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 Skagit County, a diverse and major agricultural county in the state. 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).
