Interest Leans To Increased Irrigation
Two important elements of managing water in a cotton operation involve adequate drainage and irrigation where it is physically possible and/or economically feasible.
In August, we asked our readers if, based on past weather, they would opt to improve drainage on their farms or increase irrigated acres. After tallying the votes, 62 percent say they will increase their irrigated acres, while 38 percent plan to improve drainage.
Most farmers, especially if they have been farming the same ground for a long time, have worked out any drainage issues they may have had. However, if a producer has picked up additional land – whether bought or leased – he may have to do some drainage work for his water management program to work efficiently.
