Local context

Ag Services Pasco • Custom Farming • Columbia Basin Field Work

Pasco anchors Franklin County, which sold just over $1 billion of agricultural products in 2022, fourth highest in Washington behind Grant, Yakima, and Benton. Crop sales made up roughly two thirds of that total, so local service demand skews toward row crop and orchard work rather than ranching. Farmland covers close to three quarters of the county.

Almost all of that production is irrigated. The 2022 Census recorded 179,580 irrigated acres, and the South Columbia Basin Irrigation District, headquartered in Pasco, covers roughly 250,000 acres and delivers about 825,000 acre feet a year, with 95 percent of district lands watered by sprinkler. Wheat leads by acreage, followed by hay, potatoes, and corn, alongside 9,097 bearing acres of apples and 2,546 of grapes.

Agnomy connects Pasco-area growers with verified local service providers who understand Columbia Basin irrigation, sprinkler and pivot systems, and Franklin County crop rotations, making it easier to find, book, and manage the services your operation depends on.

Answers for growers

Pasco questions

What growers in the area ask before they book on Agnomy.

  • What makes Pasco unique for agricultural services?
    Franklin County ranks fourth in Washington for farm sales and is almost entirely irrigated, with the South Columbia Basin Irrigation District watering roughly 250,000 acres, 95 percent of it by sprinkler. That makes irrigation service, pivot repair, and custom application central to local work.
  • Which crops are most common around Pasco?
    The Pasco area grows potatoes, wheat, alfalfa and hay, apples, wine grapes, onions, corn for grain and silage, asparagus, dry edible beans, and sweet corn. Irrigated row crops and orchards drive most of the local service demand.
  • When is demand for services highest?
    Demand runs from a March and April rush to charge irrigation systems, prep fields, and start asparagus cutting, then holds through the summer pivot and hay season. It peaks again from August into October when potatoes, onions, corn, and apples all come off and wheat ground goes back in.
  • Do providers serve areas beyond Pasco?
    Yes. Pasco-area providers commonly serve Franklin County and the wider Tri-Cities region, including Connell, Eltopia, Mesa, Basin City, and Burbank, so growers throughout the region can find local coverage.
