Plata and Montezuma counties and are adjacent to San Juan County

I

which supports a large acreage of agricultural plantings. Other

counties located in the vicinity of the reservations include

II

Archuleta County, Colorado; San Juan County, Utah; and Apache

County, Arizona. These counties do not have the diversified

II

cropping pattern which occurs adjacent to reservation lands.

Further, because of the large geographic extent of these counties,

I

much of the crop production is probably somewhat removed from

I

reservation lands. The cropping pattern in these counties consists

largely of dryland winter wheat and irrigated and dryland alfalfa and

I,

other hay crops. These crops are also planted in the vicinity of the

reservations.

A summary of the historic cropping pattern during the period 1975

through 1984 is shown on Table 2.1 and 2.2. These data are tabulated

I

based on published agricultural statistics compiled by the states of

Colorado and New Mexico.
