Description:
The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), and the USDA Census of Agriculture (completed every five years, most recently in 2012), are primary sources of regionally detailed data concerning the productivity, economics, land use, and multiple other characteristics of agriculture and ranching in the United States. 

This dataset offers a comprehensive summary of agricultural economic activity for each state and its counties, or county equivalent. It includes data on agriculture sales, farm income, government payments from conservation and farm programs, amounts received from loans, a broad range of production expenses, and value of buildings and equipment.

The dataset featured here shows the amount of farmland acres that require irrigation per county in 2012. This can be used to understand the demand placed on a region's water supply.
