Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cotton Irrigation in the Southwest The acreage of irrigated cotton in the United States has increased rapidly during recent years, and it is now irrigated in many areas where it was unthought of 30 years ago. In 1953 the United States irri gated a total of acres of cotton. Texas alone irrigated about acres of cotton in 1948, acres in 1953, and acres in 1955. Cotton is adapted to a wide range of soil conditions and produces well on both fine and coarse-textured soils. It is relatively tolerant to saline soil conditions that com mouly occur on irrigated lands in the Southwest. Cotton is generally considered a warm climate crop and needs at least 190 rather warm, frost-free days to produce a high yield. However, good production has been attained under a variety of conditions rang ing in elevation from below sea level in the Imperial Valley of California to feet in Arizona, and in climate from the arid regions of the Southwest to the subhumid areas of the Southeast.

Download or read book Farm Profits and Adoption of Precision Agriculture written by U.s. Department of Agriculture and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precision agriculture (PA) and its suite of information technologies-such as soil and yield mapping using a global positioning system (GPS), GPS tractor guidance systems, and variable-rate input application-allow farm operators to fine-tune their production practices. Access to detailed, within-field information can decrease input costs and increase yields. USDA's Agricultural Resource Management Survey shows that these PA technologies were used on roughly 30 to 50 percent of U.S. corn and soybean acres in 2010-12. Previous studies suggest that use of PA is associated with higher profits under certain conditions, but aggregate estimates of these gains have not been available. In this report, a treatment-effects model is developed to estimate factors associated with PA technology adoption rates and the impacts of adoption on profits. Labor and machinery used in production and certain farm characteristics, like farm size, are associated with adoption as well as with two profit measures, net returns and operating profits. The impact of these PA technologies on profits for U.S. corn producers is positive, but small. Keywords: Crop production information technologies, precision agriculture, variablerate technology, soil tests, global positioning system maps, guidance systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation of Crops in the Southeastern United States: Principles and Practice For typical crop, soil, and climate situations, procedures are outlined for selecting irrigation equipment and for operating the equipment to provide the dependable soil-water control necessary for meeting a crop's water needs. The recommended procedures emphasize crop and soil characteristics and the maintenance of a critical soil volume at less than a specified soil-water suction. Equal emphasis is placed upon excessive water application and the leaching of nitrogen or other mobile nutrients out of the root zone. The option of supplying certain chemicals, particularly readily leached nutrients, through the irrigation system is discussed.

Download or read book Water Use and the Regional Economic Impact of the Cotton Industry on the Southern Ogallala Aquifer written by Rebecca L. McCullough and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ogallala Aquifer is one of the largest freshwater aquifers in the world underlying eight contiguous states in the Great Plains Region of the United States. Recharge of the aquifer is reliant on precipitation, which is an insufficient condition for the southern portion of the region. The Southern Ogallala Region rose to prosperity with the advent of irrigation techniques allowing for irrigation of four primary crops: corn, cotton, sorghum, and wheat. Faced with an ever-decreasing water table, policymakers are under increased pressure to implement water conservation policies aimed at managing the decline of the aquifer in hopes of extending its usable life and maintaining the economy of the region. This study evaluates the economic contribution of the cotton industry to the Southern Ogallala Region and its subsequent water use with the objective of determining how this industry affects both the economy of the region and the valuation of water. Cotton has been an important component of this region for over 150 years and boasts specific characteristics that make it highly suitable for the climate of this region. In addition to evaluating the cotton industry, this study also incorporates an in-depth analysis of the valuation of water, sustainable agriculture, and production scenarios that may become prevalent in future conditions when irrigation is a limited option. In 2014, 3.8 million acres of cotton were planted in the Southern Ogallala Region; 2.2 million acres of dryland and 1.6 million acres of irrigated. The irrigated acres planted produced 1.1 billion pounds of cotton lint and over 800,000 tons of cottonseed. It was estimated that approximately 903,708 acre-feet of irrigation was applied to for this level of production. The total direct sales of dryland and irrigated cotton production and processing totaled $1.7 billion dollars.The agricultural industries of the Southern Ogallala Region are closely interconnected and the subsequent ripple effects of cotton production on other related industries were estimated to determine the economic contribution of the cotton industry to the region. The cotton industry, including production and processing, contributed over $3.3 billion dollars to the Southern Ogallala Region's economy in 2014 and supported over 26,000 jobs. An important focus of this study was to evaluate the cotton industry in terms of the value of water used. The regional economic value of irrigated cotton production was $2,145 per acre-foot and the regional economic value of irrigated cotton production and processing was $2,525 per acre-foot of water applied. The economy of the Southern Ogallala Region is reliant on agricultural commodities. A change in the production of one agricultural industry will affect other industries, and subsequently, the livelihood of the region. To promote the economic continuance of the region, effective water policies must be implemented that consider the interconnection of these industries as well as the most efficient allocation of water. This study's evaluation of the cotton industry will assist in providing a foundation for policymakers when considering and implementing future water polices.
