North Fork Salt River Basin - Crops
Corn
and soybean production dominate the North Fork Salt watershed. Corn provides feed for
cattle and hogs. Soybeans provide a major source of yearly income. Excess corn is sold on the market. Depending on the
market prices, corn can provide significant levels of additional income. The tables below show corn, soybean, wheat,
sorghum, and hay production estimates for the year 2002.
Published actual figures may represent estimates of several years, depending
on the techniques used for gathering, analyzing, and publishing the data.
