On the upland alfalfa is both planted in rows and cultivated, and seeded broadcast, the yields being considerably less than on the irrigated land. The quality of the alfalfa grown in the county is good.

Irish potatoes constitute one of the special cash crops of the county. This crop is grown principally under irrigation in the Lodgepole valley. The yields are commonly 150 to 175 bushels per acre.

Sugar beets also are an important special crop, on irrigated land. The acreage runs usually less than that of Irish potatoes. The tops are in local demand for stock feed.
