Irrigated crop intensity with the highest intensity (over 160 percent) shaded in dark green in China, Argentina, Egypt, Nigeria, Poland. Lowest intensity (less than 100 percent) shaded light green in South Africa, Niger, Bolivia, Ukraine, Iran, Turkey.

A measure of comparing the amount of land in irrigated crops is shown as a percentage of all land that is equipped (available) for irrigation. Areas of double-cropping—where the same area is cultivated and irrigated twice in a year—are counted twice. Thus, the land in irrigated crops can exceed 100%.

A map highlights various agricultural regions across North America using a high-contrast color scheme.

Agricultural regions of North America

Agricultural Regions

The regions are classified as follows: Red color represents specialty crop or livestock farming, found in Portland, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Florida. Blue color represents mixed farming, prominent in regions of Omaha, and Saint Louis. Purple color represents commercial wheat and other small grain farming, covering large areas of the central United States, North Dakota, and southern parts of Canada. Orange color represents dairy farming, concentrated in the northeastern United States, including New York, and parts of the Midwest. Yellow color represents general farming, seen in Cincinnati, Missouri, Edmonton, Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee, and Charlottetown. Green color represents livestock ranching predominantly in the western United States, including areas of Texas. Boise, Nevada, Idaho, Helena, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Denver, Utah and New Mexico. Brown color represents irrigated agriculture, located in specific regions of the western United States. Pink color represents Mediterranean agriculture (with irrigation), specific to regions like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Gray color represents nonfarming areas, covering vast stretches of the western United States.
