APPENDIX C 



4. Conservation use only - Includes grasses and/or legumes 

 grown on cropland but not harvested or pastured except 

 under declared emergency of feed shortage. It includes 

 cropland diverted acres under federal programs which are 

 not planted to trees. 



5. Temporary idle cropland - Includes acreages that have been 

 idle for at least one or more of three years prior to 

 inspection and not included in any of the above defined 

 uses. Some counties which irrigate fallow land in a grain- 

 fallow rotation have acreages shown as temporary idle 

 cropland, irrigated. 



B. Orchards and bush fruit - Lands planted to fruit trees or bush 

 fruit (regardless of intertilling or pasturing). Cherries and 

 apples are the most dominant fruits in this land use. 



C. Open land formerly cropped - Lands that have been idle for more 

 than 3 consecutive years prior to inspection and not purposely 

 converted to other uses. Weeds and other undesirable plants 

 usually occupy the area. 



Pasture land - Lands producing forage plants of introduced species that 

 are not cut for hay but generally grazed. Pastures are both irrigated 

 and dry and not in rotation with other field crops. 



A. Dryland pasture is that acreage to which no supplemental water 

 is applied on a recurring basis. It does include sub-irrigated 

 land and wet meadows as well as areas with water spreading 

 systems that provide some additional moisture from runoff. 



B. Irrigated pasture is that acreage on which water is applied 

 by an adapted method on a recurring basis. 



Range land - Lands on which the natural plant cover is composed princi- 

 pally of native grasses, forbs and shrubs having less than 10 percent 

 tree canopy. It includes high mountain meadows with natural wet land 

 vegetation that may consist of willows, sedges, and forbs. Some areas 

 have considerable acreage of range land being irrigated. Under irriga- 

 tion, specie composition is often changed to one of wet land sites but 

 the forage produced is primarily native species. These lands are used 

 for grazing and management is primarily achieved through the manipula- 

 tion of livestock. 



Forest Lands - These are woodlands which are at least 10 percent stocked 

 by forest trees of any size and capable of producing timber or other 

 forest products, or exerting an influence on the water regime. It in- 

 cludes lands formerly having had at least 10 percent stocking of forest
