Book Description
Producers in the Mississippi Delta region are planting crops requiring more irrigation water, namely corn. This report examines the annual per acre net returns to irrigated versus dryland production and compares how hypothetical changes in the crop mix could affect these estimated returns to different land classes. Compared to dryland production, this analysis finds the average annual per acre net returns from irrigated production across all land classes based on current price expectations are $279 or 67 percent higher for corn; $264 or 72 percent higher for cotton; and $89 or 68 percent higher for soybeans. The analysis also compares a hypothetical scenario where no irrigation is available and, allowing for a change in the crop mix, finds irrigation increases average annual per acre net returns approximately $50-$100 per acre under current price expectations.
