Abstract
The accurate evaluation of land suitability for special agriculture production plays an important role to decrease the negative environmental impacts. The current study aimed to apply GIS techniques for analyzing land suitability to wheat production in 5474.27 ha of semi-arid regions of Bingham and Bonneville counties of southern Idaho. This research used the Idaho West State Plane projection for the least distorted projection for its investigation. "Convert feature class to feature class" and "copy raster" procedures were used to ensure that all required data layers are stored in the active database. DEM data was gathered in the form of multiple rasters and then turned into a single mosaic dataset so that all of the data are converted to a single mosaic dataset. The results indicated that Bingham County is more suitable for wheat than Bonneville County. A change in irrigation, cropping pattern, rotation, and land use type of Bonneville County might be helpful to increase its wheat production. It was concluded that integrating GIS techniques could be an accurate and effective method for better land use planning and management for agriculture productions.
