| Abstract |
Linear programming was used to examine the effects of irrigation on a simulated representative farm firm in the Eastern Missouri Slope Area of South Dakota. Comparisons were made between dryland farming and irrigation with three types of sprinkler irrigation systems under varying degrees of labor and capital restrictions. The three types of systems were selected to provide a range of capital and labor intensity. Labor and capital restrictions were developed to reflect conditions in the selected geographical area. Results indicated that irrigation would be profitable in the area. In all cases, however, the system yielding the greatest net returns was the system with the highest labor requirements. (Author) |
