TEXAS TRANS-PECOS REGION
FOREWORD
r
r
The enterprise budgets for the Trans-Pecos
region are based on yields as shown on form
08000500. The data contained in this report
are based on estimates and actual records of
operations within the two-county area (ReevesPecos). Even in a region so narrowly defined
as this, variations in inputs and returns exist
among farms and among managers. However,
these budgets should serve as useful guides in
planning and decision-making for persons con
cerned with the area described above.
Basic assumptions which are necessary to
complete the budgeting process include a com
pilation of crops to be budgeted, expected yields
for irrigated only, and according to typical and
high-level management. Farm size and machin
ery complements for both levels of managment
are required. Production practices, machinery
operating rates and, finally, the budget develop
ment complete the undertaking.
In order, then, the assumptions were: farm
size varied from 600 acres for the typical man
ager to 1,000 acres for the high-level operator.
Fully two-thirds of the land on die typical farm
is fallowed while only one-third is handled in
this manner on the high-level farm. Cotton is
grown on approximately one-fourth of the typical
farm and two-fifths of the larger unit. Small
grains are produced on fully 50 percent of the
acreage in both cases. Calf grazing is heavily
utilized.
Irrigation systems vary from two wells of
1,000 GPM each on the smaller operation to
four wells of 1,000 GPM capacity each on the
larger unit.
Management differences centered primarily
on timing of operations rather than variations
in cropping patterns or input levels. That is,
the high level manager extracts greater yields,
and usually greater profits from his enterprises
due to superior ability to prepare for, plant, tend
to and sell his crops in an optimum fashion.
Land rent (net) is computed for cotton based
on the landlord receiving one-fourth of the crop
and government payment while supplying all of
the land, the well, pump and irrigation system,
and one-fourth of the fertilizer, herbicide, insec
ticide, harvesting and ginning. No typical
arrangements for cropsharing or cash leasing
were identifiable; therefore, the opportunity cost
concept on land value is used.
