Abstract
An after-tax net present value(NPV) analysis of investing in three irrigation system modifications for the production of corn, grain sorghum, wheat, and alfalfa is conducted. Modifying a high pressure center pivot with low-drift nozzles and adding surge valves to a gated pipe system is economically feasible for each crop.
