TEXAS EL PASO REGION
FOREWORD
r
r
The data contained in this report are based
on estimates and actual records of operations
within an area described as the Texas El Paso
Region. This area includes the El Paso and
Hudspeth county area in extreme West Texas.
Even in a region so narrowly defined, variation
in inputs and returns exists among farms and
managers. However, these budgets should serve
as useful guides in planning and decision making
for agriculturalists concerned with the area de
scribed above.
The enterprise budgets for this region are
based on yields as shown on 07000600. The
assumptions used in the development of these
budgets include the following things. Farm size
varied from 350 acres for the typical manager
to 750 acres for the high level manager. Ap
proximately two-thirds of the acreage for both
management levels was planted to cotton. Adjust
ments in the government programs have led to
a slight increase in the percentage of total cotton
acreage which is planted in pima cotton. It
was assumed that pima was planted on 55 per
cent of the cotton acreage in this region and
upland cotton planted on 45 percent. Annual
rotations are practiced on the typical farm using
small grains or grain sorghum, and occasionally
alfalfa in rotation. The high level fanner typ
ically uses rotation which may include 4 years
of alfalfa and 1 year of cotton in an attempt to
maximize cotton yields per acre. Cotton yields
tend to increase 125 pounds per acre for cotton
produced under a 2-year rotation with grain
sorghum and another 125 pounds for the rota
tion with 4 years of alfalfa. Both typical and
high level managers enjoy this increase. Pima
cotton responds somewhat less to the two differ
ent rotation systems. Small grain grazing is
practiced by both management levels but with
greater intensity on farms of the above average
manager.
Irrigation is supplied in both cases from the
Rio Grande Project. Management differences
center primarily on timing of operation, varia
tion in rotation pattern and, to some degree,
input levels. The high level manager extracts
greater yields and usually greater profits from
his enterprises due to a superior ability for
preparing, planting, tending to and selling his
crop.
No typical crop share or cash rent determi
nation was available. Land rent was therefore
computed on present market value and current
interest rates on long-term capital investments.
