Survey does not assess drought impacts on SJ Valley growers
A recent media story incorrectly linked a recent farmer survey of irrigation practices to drought, claiming that 48.6% of San Joaquin Valley farmers “were not heavily affected by drought in the last five years.”
The survey of 414 San Joaquin Valley farmers conducted by the Agricultural Water Management Council and the California Farm Water Coalition provided valuable insights to the management decisions governing the use of water on farms. Questions in the survey focused on water use efficiency practices conducted on the farm and how farmers determine when to irrigate.
The survey revealed that 28 percent of the farmers reported an increase in crop production with the same amount of water. Thirty-five percent reported the same production but used less water. Forty-eight percent of the farmers reported no change in production or water usage. These statistics are the result of farmers responding to questions about applied water in their fields and not in relation to their supply of water, whether from surface or groundwater sources.
The complete survey report is available by clicking here .
