Abstract

Laser leveling farmland is a profitable water savings technology in many areas of the West. Capital cost, irrigation field efficiencies, potential yield increase, energy prices, planning horizon, and the future ft certainty of federal cost-sharing programs significantly affect the decision to laser. If federal programs continue,farmers also need to decide how fast to laser their farms, since payments are a function of time along with acres lasered. Given existing water costs for a typical farm in Arizona and federal subsidies, the farmer should laser part of the farm each year over a ten year period
