SECTION 12 
IRRIGATION OF HORTICULTURAL CROPS GROWN IN THE OPEN BY WATER SOURCE 
IN 2013 
1 . 
For each method used to irrigate or water horticultural crops in the open, report water sources by percent of source 
applied. If more than one source was used, report all that apply. For example, if the only source for hand-watered 
crops was ground water, then report 100 percent in column 1. If this operation used gravity irrigation and half of the 
water came from ground water and half came from on-farm surface water, then report 50 percent in column 1, row 
b and 50 percent in column 2, row b.
