- Description:
- The main objective of the study is to determine the ability of different sizes of farms to pay for irrigation water. This ability will be measured by the capability of the farm to produce high value crops at low costs. Phrased in a different way, the objective of this study is to find the maximum that farms of various sizes can pay for irrigation water if, at the same time, all other factors of production are adequately rewarded. This, to some degree, will indicate the maximum value of water if irrigation is its highest use. This type of information can be of use to future studies which involve water rights or water values. A secondary objective is to determine the economies of size of the various enterprises. This will reflect the competitive advantage of each enterprise on farm-to-farm, area to-area, or possibly on state-to-state levels.
