Figure 5 shows AgStat trends in <br />irrigated acres of corn, beans, grains, sugar beets, alfalfa and pasture. Basin wide, <br />irrigated acres of corn can vary greatly between years while most of the other crop types <br />remain relatively constant over time. Some counties, like Weld (Figure 6), are similar to <br />the basin wide trends in crop type variability while other counties, like Boulder (Figure 7) <br />and Adams (Figure 8), exhibit a great deal of variability in all crop types between years. <br />There does not appear to be consistent crop type patterns between counties. <br />Page 3 of 11 <br />
