Of this total estimated acreage of irriga ble land, about acres are now irrigated. Therefore, a large acreage of land remains that is suitable for irrigation. The potential for expanding irrigation is limited by a lack of water and by eco nomic restrictions rather than by a shortage of suitable soils.

The remaining 898 acres in the county are in land class 6, which is not suitable for irrigation.
