TEXAS ROLLING PLAINS I

FOREWORD
r
The enterprise budgets for Rollings Plains I
are based on yields as shown on form 05000600.
Budgets for irrigated crops in Rolling Plains I
area were developed only for alfalfa and coastal
since almost no irrigation is used on other crops.
Pertinent facts include the following: the
"high level" managers use mostly 6-row equip
ment and farm 1,000 acres of cropland, while
the "typical" manager uses 4-row equipment and
farms about 600 acres of cropland. Budgets for
irrigated crops in Rolling Plains I are based on
sprinkler irrigation.
The following customary rent arrangements
were used:
Cotton—One-fourth of production and land
lord pays one-fourth of insecticide, fertilizer
r
and ginning.
Vegetables—One-fifth production and land
lord pays one-fifth of insecticide, fertilizer,
fungicide, harvesting and processing.
All Other Crops—One-third of production
and landlord pays one-third of fertilizer and
harvest. Landlord's share of hay baling is
based on 300 per bale when renter owns and
operates his own equipment.
Income from government payments is shown
after the landlord's share has been deducted for
rent. For information on groundwater resources
and soils for these areas, consult the Area Re
sources Section of (he Rolling Plains Economic
Program Report.
