It includes sales by the operators as well as the value 
of any shares reeeived by partners, landlords, 
eontraetors, or others assoeiated with the operation. 
It represents the sum of all erops, ineluding nursery 
produets, and livestoek and poultry and their 
produets. Market value of agrieultural produets sold 
does not inelude payments reeeived for participation 
in federal farm programs. Also, it does not inelude 
ineome from farm-related sourees sueh as 
eustomwork and other agricultural services, or 
ineome from nonfarm sourees. 
Nonirrigated crop yields. The nonirrigated erop 
yield averages are for nonirrigated erops harvested 
from irrigated farms and are not eomparable with 
nonirrigated erop yield averages for total farms in 
the State. 
North American Industry Classification System. 
The North American Industry Classification System 
(NAICS) elassifies eeonomie aetivities. It was jointly 
developed by Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. The 
NAICS makes it possible to produce comparable 
industrial statisties for Mexieo, Canada, and the U.S. 
Farms were elassified by NAICS eode based on their 
2012 eensus report(s). Establishments primarily 
engaged in erop production are classified in major 
group 111. Establishments primarily engaged in 
produetion of livestoek and animal speeialties are 
elassified in major group 112. Establishments are 
further elassified into the appropriate six-digit code 
for the eommodity or eommodities whieh aeeount 
for one-half of the establishment’s agricultural 
production. 
Off-farm water supply. Off-farm water supply is 
water from off-farm water suppliers, sueh as the U.S. 
Bureau of Reelamation; irrigation distriets; mutual, 
private, eooperative, or neighborhood ditehes; 
eommereial companies; or eommunity water 
systems. It ineludes reelaimed water from off-farm 
livestoek faeilities, munieipal, industrial, and other 
reelaimed water sources 
On-farm surface supply. On-farm surface supply 
is water from a surface source not controlled by a 
water supply organization. It includes sources such 
as streams, drainage ditches, lakes, ponds, reservoirs, 
and on-farm livestock lagoons on or adjacent to the 
operated land. 
B - 6 Appendix B 
Other drip, trickle, or low-flow micro systems. 
This category is for any drip, trickle, or low-flow 
micro systems that were not included in the other 
three specific descriptions. 
Other or unspecified discontinuance. This 
category is for any discontinuance reason that was 
not specified on the report form. 
Other pasture and grazing land that could have 
been used for crops without additional 
improvements. This category includes land used 
only for pasture or grazing that could have been used 
for crops without additional improvement. Also 
included are acres of crops hogged or grazed but not 
harvested prior to grazing. However, cropland that 
was pastured before or after crops were harvested 
was included as harvested cropland rather than 
cropland for pasture or grazing. In 2008 this item 
was referred to as Cropland used only for pasture or 
grazing; data are comparable. 
Other small grains (barley, oats, rye, etc.). This 
category is not comparable with 2008 or earlier FRIS 
publications. In previous report forms, barley had its 
own specific code. In 2013 it did not have a specific 
code and is included with Other small grains. 
Other sprinkler systems. This is a new category 
for 2013. It includes any sprinkler system that was 
not listed on the report form. 
Permanent pasture and rangeland. This land use 
category encompasses grazable land that does not 
qualify as woodland pasture or cropland pasture. It 
may be irrigated or dry land. In some areas, it can be 
a high quality pasture that could not be cropped 
without improvements. In other areas, it is barely 
able to be grazed and is only marginally better than 
wasteland. In 2008 this category was referred to as 
Other pastureland and rangeland; data are 
comparable. 
Primary source of funding assistance. 
Respondents were instructed to only report the 
primary source of funding assistance for 
expenditures. Nonresponses to this item were 
summarized as “No funding assistance.”
