Since 1902 irrigation experiments have been a major part of the research activity on the Greenville (Central) Experimental Farm near Logan, Utah. The experiments have been concerned mainly with the effects of different quantities of irrigation water, the minimum water requirement of crops, and the effects of different seasonal distribution of the water. This publication aims to give a brief summary of this work as it relates to crop yields as well as the more recent results up to and including 1929.

Irrigation is "the artificial application of water to the soil for the purpose of getting large and steady crop yields". It is supplementary to rainfall and the quantity of water applied and the time of application, therefore, must be determined by the character of the rainfall. Irrigation is usually practiced in those regions which have low rainfall as natural precipitation at such places is insufficient to meet the full water requirements of crops.
