"I would submit that our producers are doing a better job of water use efficiency than any group of producers in the country," Boman says.
One specific example of High Plains water management is the increase in drip irrigation systems in the region. Boman says the number of cotton acres utilizing drip systems is somewhere between 300,000 and 400,000.
He also points to widespread use of Low Energy Precision Agriculture (LEPA) irrigation systems and farm programs such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) administered by USDA-NRCS.
